Grand Vitara is being produced at Toyota Bidadi plant. So, at least it is not about production capacity as far as Brezza is concerned. Maruti Suzuki would like to project Vitara as a success by any means, so would employ any trick in their kitty. It might be a case of component shortage though and Vitara getting prioritized for the larger profit it would bring. But I don't think they can keep Brezza sells down for long. Can Grand Vitara for the asking price of the MILD hybrid sustain the sell numbers ? Next two months will answer this question.

Spot on quote . They want to articulate that grand vitara is a grand success. So that they have brought brezza dispatch to such low numbers. Basically, to rank up the GA on sales chart. The engine production capacity of K12C won't be an issue through.

Bad inventory management or Semiconductor shortage or Transportation issues ? Maruti ain't bad at any of them. Brezza made a scapegoat for Grand Vitara ? Something fishy here !
It will be interesting to see the data breakdown between smart hybrid and Full Hybrid.

The explanation is simple really. The Brezza CNG production is being prioritised before launch. Hence the numbers are lower. It is expected that there will be a spike next month and even things out.

We are yet to hear anything official about Brezza CNG, we know it will come very soon. But how many units of CNG are going to be sold as opposed to Pure petrol engines. Consider the following:
(1) Power is going to be reduced for what is already barely sufficient for a car of this size.
(2) Boot space is going to be severely compromised, so it no longer stays as a family car or for highway use.
(3) Cost of the CNG car is going to be increased by at least one lakh over the same corresponding petrol model.
(4) Prices of CNG are increasing rapidly and who knows what will be its pricing after a year or so. Would it make much of a difference for majority of customers those shopping at 15 lakhs and above?
(5) An "S" variant of Toyota urban Cruiser Hyryder Full hybrid would make more sense in place ZXI or ZXI+ variants of Brezza if only mileage matters. Only the lower variants of Brezza CNG would make more sense.
I don't think CNG would constitute more than 25-30% of Brezza sells. And for this volume do they need to stop Petrol only Brezza 2-3 months ahead ?

I cannot comment about viability of CNG models. I trust Suzuki understands market better than me. I believe the Grand Vitara too will have a CNG version. Time will tell if customers care about their money enough in this segment to buy CNG cars. My experience tells me that what you say is true. But India is a funny country where trust and brand loyalty mixed with Kitna Deti hain mentality sometimes throw up funny results.

They would not have stopped production of Brezza. There are two possible scenarios. In first case, Suzuki might be doing production line trials which are typically done at lower line speeds resulting in production losses. Or they would not have dispatched the CNG units to Dealers yet if already made. Hence the dip.

My car has been allotted. Alpha+ strong hybrid Grandeur Grey. Payments done. Delivery on tuesday.

As promised, Extended warranty was included (quoted price 36533) and pristine accessories package (worth 36440) too. Accessories are yet to be received in showroom. They have asked for a week’s time. The basic accessories also included in that. So need to pay for basic accessories.

Overall the price difference between hyryder and grand vitara top end comes out to around 25k ( if extended warranty and basic accessories are included).

I had booked both right when bookings opened. Going ahead with the grand vitara because there is absolutely no news of expected delivery date or allotment from toyota. Also i had already sold my vehicle two months back and been travelling in a can daily for work. Cant wait for anymore.

I have attached the pristine accessories package list.

Congratulations and good luck. I had to let go of my allotment because of a last minute notice from the dealership.

BTW, are you saying you need to only pay 25k more than the Hyryder or is it ~ 75k considering the value of the freebies? Mind sharing the final on road price?

I dont know how both Toyota and Maruti are quoting the same RTO charges. Its 15% here in tamilnadu. Hence Maruti’s RTO should be ₹7.5k higher. However i double checked with Maruti and they have acknowledged the completion of my payment.
May be Toyota is including some shady Logistics charges into it i dont know. Since the car hasnt been allotted, i didnt go into the details of it.

Maruti Grand Vitara bookings cross the 75,000 units mark

Maruti Suzuki has registered over 75,000 bookings for the Grand Vitara since July 11, 2022.



By the time the Grand Vitara was officially launched on September 26, bookings for the mid-size SUV had crossed the 57,000 mark. Out of the total bookings so far, hybrid variants account for 35%.

The Maruti Grand Vitara is available in six variants with prices starting at Rs 10.45 lakh (ex-showroom).

The SUV is offered with two engine options. These include the familiar 1.5-litre mild-hybrid petrol engine that makes 103 BHP and 137 Nm and a 1.5-litre strong-hybrid producing 115 BHP and 122 Nm, paired with a 78 BHP electric motor.

Reduction in the bookings of Strong Hybrid variants - is an indicator that Maruti has priced it higher than the expectations. Mild hybrids will be the volume drivers. Expected price revisions in the coming months will certainly shift the balance more in favour of mild hybrids. Top end Creta / Seltos should find themselves in a comfortable territory.

Guys. Wondering which model would be a wiser Choice? Grand Vitara All Grip or Hyryder AWD? Thanks.

The Grand Vitara, since both the engine and tech are both from Suzuki.

Unless you like the looks of the sibling cars better, it would be better to stay with the brand from where the engine comes.

You may quickly prepare a flow chart:

1. Prepare an apple to apple comparison of new Grand Vitara AWD and Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder AWD from their respective technical brochures. Consider every feature and line items of both. Check whether there is any important feature or safety related feature or the feature you need is absent. Dump that car straight away.

2. If both are comparable technically and feature-wise, and no compromise for any particular feature; which car exterior or interior you like the most? Whether your favourite colour is available for the new Grand Vitara or the Hyryder?

3. Next, which one gives you a better on-road price and warranty coverage package?

4. Which service centre is suitable/ preferred and nearest to your location?

Personally, I would prefer the new Grand Vitara All-grip AWD, and, the Hyryder if I buy the strong hybrid variant.

Maruti Suzuki will introduce the Grand Vitara CNG in the Indian market in December 2022.

Bookings expected to commence soon.

The Grand Vitara CNG's prices will be announced after the Toyota Hyryder CNG launch, which is expected in the coming weeks.
