I'm not surprised. The car is actually very nice to own and drive. Smooth to drive in city. Excellent handling. Excellent on highway trips across states. Handles bad roads with aplomb. Comfortable over long drives. Good fuel economy. Last but not least, Maruti service is simply the best by a huge margin. I once had a serpentine belt wear out on my older car while driving between states on a long weekend holiday around 7pm. Maruti helpline directed me to the nearest authorised service center. Not only that, they got the service manager to also come to the service center which was closed (I reached there around 8pm). In around 30 minutes, the belt was replaced and i was back on the road. Its this type of customer service that makes Maruti my first choice always.

The Grand Vitara has been a best-seller ever since launch and it is the Mild-Hybrid variants that are selling the most, The Hybrids haven't been selling as much with customers preferring Toyota's Hybrid over Suzuki, that is primarily the reason why I think Maruti is now selling the Hybrid cheaper than Toyota, which was earlier not the case. Anyway Maruti has finally cracked the > 4 metre SUV space after all these years with the S-Cross being a disappointment as regards numbers were concerned, The Grand Vitara has left a good impression on the audience and it shows in its numbers.

This is great milestone to achieve in about 22 months of launch of a new car. Most of Grand Vitara I have seen on the road are mild hybrids. The strong hybrid sales might be more under Toyota brand and guised as Urban Cruiser Hyryder.

Nexa salesperson are very enthusiastic based on few interactions I have had with them and know lot more about the products. I can't comment on Nexa service experience as I do not own a Maruti.

Grand Vitara mild hybrid has a good variant and features spread. The automatic gear box is available from Delta variant onwards which is 3rd from top and starts at ₹13.6 lakhs. The base variant comes with most of the features (except 6 airbags and rear wiper+washer). The mild hybrid automatic is not going to burn rubber on the highway or provide fast overtakes, but it provides smooth 6 speed reliable torque converter gearbox which is what fulfills needs of most people.

I would like to know the battery life for the hybrid variants. I read somewhere in an abroad magazine that usual life for them is 8 years post which their battery performance degrades ( that is will run on petrol most of the time) and will warrant battery replacement. The same applies for the Camry hybrid also.
