One has enough legroom and space to sit comfortably. The rear seatback can be folded, thus providing large boot space. The beautiful interiors have ample storage space for luggage. A classy instrument cluster beautifies the cabin. The dashboard, with its wood and LCD readout, is quite appealing. In-dash CD system has steering mounted audio & AVC (Auto Volume Control). Automatic Climate Control system maintains a precise cabin temperature.

Engine
Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara is equipped with a 2.7-liter V6 engine that's capable of 185 horsepower. A five-speed manual is standard on the base model, while a five-speed automatic system is optional.
Safety
The vehicle incorporates safety features like Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) and Dual Airbags. Doors are equipped with side-impact beams. The sturdy ladder frame is boxed and is designed with built-in crumple zones at the front and the rear. In the event of a frontal or rear collision, the crumple zones act like buffers, deforming in a progressive manner to absorb and dissipate impact energy. This helps in reducing the overall crash forces acting upon the occupants. The doors are equipped with side impact beams to take care of side impact.
