The naturally aspirated engine also offers a choice of a factory-fitted CNG kit, which produces 88 PS in CNG mode. Transmission options include a 6-speed manual and a 6-speed automatic gearbox for NA petrol engine, while the strong hybrid powertrain is paired only with an e-CVT automatic transmission.

As for features, the Grand Vitara comes equipped with a 9-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, ventilated front-row seats, a panoramic sunroof, a 6-speaker sound system, a wireless phone charger, and cruise control.
