Should You Buy Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara Mild Hybrid Or Hybrid?
With a km-to-breakeven figure of over 2 lakh km, it is difficult to recommend the Grand Vitara hybrid over its mild-hybrid petrol-automatic variants. However, it’s worth noting that the hybrid variants also get some extra features over the comparable mild-hybrid variants.
Still, the premium for the hybrid powertrain is difficult to justify if you’re only buying it to save money. So, you’ll have to boil it down to your usage. If you mostly drive in the city and in stop-and-go traffic, then the hybrid will offer much better drivability and considerably higher fuel efficiency. This is because the torque converter automatic in the mild hybrid automatic variants has poor fuel efficiency in stop-and-go traffic and this is exactly where the hybrid powertrain shines.
If your daily commute involves long and open highway stretches, then we recommend the Grand Vitara mild-hybrid as its 4-cylinder engine will feel smoother than the hybrid variants’ 3-cylinder engine. With the new 6-speed automatic transmission, this engine is now suitable for relaxed highway cruising and offers satisfactory mileage during highway drives.
