What’s the largest sport utility vehicle available?
The Grand Vitara is the longest and the Seltos the widest, however, the Grand Vitara’s wheelbase is less than that of the Seltos/Creta. The Grand Vitara makes an effort to visually diverge from both the sporty Seltos and the extreme Creta.
What’s the roomiest SUV out there?
Both the Creta and the Seltos have a lengthier wheelbase than the Grand Vitara, which translates to increased interior space. The Grand Vitara has a cargo capacity of 373 litres, behind the Seltos (433 litres) and the Creta (433 litres).
Can you name the quickest SUV?
The Grand Vitara has a mild hybrid with 102 horsepower, a strong hybrid with 115 hp, and a 5-speed manual, 6-speed automatic, or electronic continuously variable transmission (CVT). A 1.5-litre base model is available for the Creta and Seltos, and it features a choice of a 6-speed manual, an iMT, or a CVT, and 115 horsepower. In addition to the 140 horsepower 1.4 turbo with a DCT, the Creta and Seltos also offer a 1.5-litre diesel with 11 horsepower and a 6-speed automatic/manual transmission. When comparing power, the Seltos/Creta comes out on top, but the Grand Vitara has an electric function with the hybrid.
Is There a Most Fuel-Efficient SUV?
The Creta’s fuel economy is 17-21 km/l, and the Seltos’s is 16-21 km/l. The Grand Vitara, on the other hand, is the most fuel-efficient SUV in India, with fuel economy ranging from 19 to 28 km/l in its hybrid variant.
To what extent do the amenities of each SUV differ?
Sunroofs, wireless charging, smartphone integration, and more are standard across the board. A panoramic sunroof is standard on the Grand Vitara and Creta and optional on the Seltos. However, unlike the Grand Vitara, the Creta has a motorised handbrake, and both the Creta and the Seltos have a more capacious touchscreen. While all three have ventilated seats, only the Grand Vitara/Seltos do have a true 360-degree camera. The Creta and the Seltos both include air purification systems, and the Seltos further incorporates a front parking sensor. There is six airbags & other security features standard on all three.
Which SUV is the least expensive option?
The base price of a Grand Vitara is Rs 10.4 li, and the most expensive hybrid version is Rs 19.4 li. The lowest starting price among these SUVs is the Creta, at Rs 10.4 lakh. Its highest price is Rs 18.2 lakh. In India, the base price of a Seltos is Rs 10.4 lakh, with a high-end model costing Rs 18.6 lakh.
The Grand Vitara’s hybrid technology makes it more expensive than competitors, but it also delivers greater efficiency. The Grand Vitara’s mid-range models, however, are priced similarly to the Creta and the Seltos.
Creta’s diesel engine, roominess, and features have kept it a best-seller, while Seltos’s abrasive good looks have helped propel it into the spotlight. We have yet to see how this particular niche develops or where Grand Vitara finds its place within it.
