Maruti Suzuki to launch 7-seater Grand Vitara this year

The 7-seater Grand Vitara could borrow some design cues from the e Vitara.

Maruti Suzuki has lined up two new SUVs for the Indian market, starting with the e Vitara, which will go on sale in September. During a recent conference, chairman R.C. Bhargava confirmed the second model but stopped short of revealing the exact details.

According to media reports, the second SUV that is due to be launched in 2025 is the 7-seater Grand Vitara (codenamed: Y17). Test mules have already been spotted since December 2024.

The 7-seater Grand Vitara could borrow some design cues from the e Vitara. Spy images suggest that it could get connected LED taillights similar to the EV, while the front features headlamps positioned lower down on the bumper and different DRLs.

The 7-seater version will also be slightly longer than the existing Grand Vitara. The car also features a larger rear quarter glass and 2-tone alloy wheels in a new design.

The 3-row Grand Vitara will be based on the same C platform as the standard model. It is expected to be powered by the same powertrains as well: 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol and 1.5-litre petrol-hybrid.
