The Grand Vitara and Urban Cruiser Hyryder, despite having many parts in common, nonetheless have certain unique features. We examine it more closely.
Maruti Suzuki and Toyota have come together and introduced the Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara yesterday in India. The car, a compact SUV, is the first one produced by Toyota as part of this alliance and will compete against models like the Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, Skoda Kushaq, and VW Taigun. This time, Maruti Suzuki and Toyota were the first to introduce the new SUV, which they dubbed the Urban Cruiser Hyryder and Grand Vitara, respectively. We examine the differences between the two models.

The design is where we should start because both SUVs are sister models and have many features in common. There isn't much to distinguish the two SUVs when viewed from the sides. Both have the same window line, shoulder line, and floating pillar execution at the D-pillar. However, the wheels are where the Toyota and Maruti differ most, adopting various designs.
The distinctions between the two are most obvious at the front. The Toyota's design is in accordance with its global models and features a sleek partially covered grille flanked by dual-stock LED daytime running lights, sharp headlamp recesses on the bumper, and a prominent central air-vent while both still employ the same basic split headlight design.
Maruti, on the other hand, has chosen a more straightforward single LED DRL scheme with the dot-style features we originally saw on the second-generation Baleno. The design has more muscle because to the pronounced grille, and the headlamp housings are squarer than on the Toyota. A central air vent is also included in the Maruti, albeit it is not as noticeable since the Toyota's unit is lower down on the bumper.
When it comes to the rear, the most obvious modification is the taillamp. While the Grand Vitara utilizes a set of three stacked LED components with a lightbar extending toward the Suzuki emblem on the rear, the Toyota uses streamlined units with C-shaped LED elements. In contrast to the Hyryder's body-colored panel, the housing has a darker finish. If you look closely, you will see that the design of the faux rear skid plate has been significantly modified.
When you get inside, it could be difficult to distinguish between the two types. When you look at the photo of the two cabins side by side, it is clear that the devil is in the details. You won't be able to identify the difference in design, save from the badging, until the upholstery is in doubt.
If you compare the powerful hybrid models side by side, you'll see that the Grand Vitara's dashboard has champagne gold accents in place of the Hyryder's silver ones. In addition, the Grand Vitara's interior is all black, in contrast to the Hyryder Hybrid's dual-tone black and brown upholstery. In terms of the mild hybrid petrol models, the Toyota has an all-black interior, while the Maruti has a dual-tone black and brown finish. Both also have silver trim inserts on the dashboard.
When it comes to the equipment, a quick glance through their separate brochures indicates that the equipment breakdown is largely the same. Four different versions of the regular petrol are offered, with the Hyryder outperforming the Maruti in terms of the hybrid. The Grand Vitara Hybrid is only offered in the Zeta+ and Alpha+ top models, whereas the Hyryder is offered in S, G, and V. (top trim). Additionally, each brand's linked car technology is included with both SUVs.
Maruti is also employing the "+" as a variant differentiator between the standard and hybrid, with the later versions in both the Hyryder and Grand Vitara packing in more equipment than its standard counterpart. When you compare the list of included features, you'll also see that technology like ventilated seats, a digital instrument panel, a head-up display, and wireless phone charging are only available on hybrid variants.
In terms of the engines, the underpinnings and engine lineup are the identical for both SUVs. In both cases, the 1.5-liter K15 DualJet mild-hybrid engine from Maruti and the 1.5-liter TNGA petrol engine combined with an electric motor from Toyota are used. It's interesting to note that when comparing the regular gasoline engines, the Grand Vitara has a slight advantage, with 102 horsepower and 137 pound-feet of torque to the Hyryder's 101 horsepower and 135 Nm.
While this is going on, the hybrid engine choice produces 114 bhp total, the same amount of power in both types. The electric motor has a rating of 79 horsepower and 141 Nm, while the 1.5-liter gasoline engine produces 91 bhp and 122 Nm of torque.
Regarding transmissions, the 1.5 K-Series petrol is offered with a 5-speed manual or 6-speed automatic, while the Hybrid comes standard with an eCVT.
