Q. Good morning.. i would like to buy either grand vitara or toyota hyrider...i request a frank openion betwwen the two to select...next .. is it worth to go for hybrid with an investment 5to 7 lakhs then an ordinary patrol ... please advice
  • Both the Maruti Grand Vitara and Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder share the same platform and engine options, offering mild-hybrid and strong-hybrid variants. While both SUVs provide similar performance and features, the Hyryder comes with Toyota’s global branding and slightly premium features like a 360-degree camera and ventilated seats in higher variants. On the other hand, the Grand Vitara offers a longer warranty package and a NEXA dealership experience.For a detailed comparison, you may visit the provided links.:- https://www.zigwheels.com/compare-cars/maruti-suzuki-grand-vitara-vs-toyota-hyryder
Q. Which is the best car, Maruti Grand Vitara or Hyundai Creta?
  • Both cars are good in their own forte. The Grand Vitara offers a lot to Indian families with very little compromise. However, that little compromise is a big one: performance. The mild-hybrid engine is only good for city commutes and relaxed cruising and will feel inadequate for someone expecting more. As for the strong hybrid, the boot space is the limiting factor. But if these two aspects are not your priority, the Grand Vitara really delivers where it counts. It's spacious, comfortable, loaded with features, efficient, and a very likable family SUV. On the other hand, Hyundai Creta’s design may polarise people, it is the curvier SUV of the lot, which does make it look the biggest here. It is clearly an impressive compact SUV. It is spacious, comfortable, loaded with features, easy to drive, and offered powerful petrol and diesel engine options. Compared to the old car, it is a huge upgrade, both in terms of drive and feel. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test drive before making the final decision. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership details.
Q. Which one is good to buy: Maruti Grand Vitara or Skoda Kushaq?
  • Both cars are good in their own forte. The Grand Vitara offers a lot to Indian families with very little compromise. However, that little compromise is a big one: performance. The mild-hybrid engine is only good for city commutes and relaxed cruising and will feel inadequate for someone expecting more. As for the strong hybrid, the boot space is the limiting factor. But if these two aspects are not your priority, the Grand Vitara really delivers where it counts. It's spacious, comfortable, loaded with features, efficient, and a very likable family SUV. On the other hand, the Skoda Kushaq is certainly the more practical option with oodles of boot space, a quirky cabin, and a comfortable rear seat experience. But it is only ideal for a family of four as seating three people at the back is a hassle. It also sacrifices a few premium features for strong build quality. So if you’re willing to shell out most of the three SUVs and use it as a very comfortable four-seater, while coming out largely with flying colours in every other department, the Skoda Kushaq is the ideal choice. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test drive before making the final decision. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership details.
