Suzuki has launched a completely redesigned Grand Vitara in the US with a 185 Bhp engine. Given the fact that Vitara from Maruti in India is a CBU. Its anyone's guess when we will get the new version available in India to us.
Another observation, the current XL-7 is still available. This is the version that is currently available in India as Vitara from Maruti. For people who would like to check out the new SUV, its available at ( http://www.suzukiauto.com/sr_06/grand_vitara/ ).
