With the design of the car, we expect the new Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara to have a silhouette on the lines of the Toyota Urban Cruiser Haider, which will incorporate some of the same elements. However, Maruti Suzuki India will give its own unique touch to the front section of the car which will help differentiate it from its sibling. Expect a new grille at the front with single slats and chrome inserts while the split headlamp design will give it an aggressive stance. Expect a dual-tone color scheme with a black roof, while alloy wheels will also sport a dual-tone treatment. At the rear, we expect the Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara to feature wraparound LED taillights, two-piece LED light bar and Grand Vitara lettering.

The cabin of the Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara can be largely borrowed from the recently launched Maruti products such as the Baleno, XL6 and even the 2022 Maruti Suzuki Brezza. And hence, expect a dual-tone theme for the cabin with soft-touch materials in the dashboard, door pads, and more. The touchscreen infotainment system could be a 9-inch unit while the car will also get a heads-up display (HUD), a 360-degree camera and possibly a fully digital instrument cluster. The new Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara will also have a panoramic sunroof.
