On the outside, the Grand Vitara Sigma looks no less plush than the higher trim levels.

It offers steel wheels instead of alloys and and bi-halogen projector headlights in place of LED projectors.

Inside, you get fabric seats and a 2-DIN slot for an infotainment system in the base variant.

Notably, it has auto AC with rear vents, front/rear armrests, steering-mounted audio controls, keyless entry and hill assist.

The base-spec Grand Vitara is powered by a 103PS 1.5-litre petrol engine paired with a manual gearbox.

It costs Rs 10.45 lakh (ex-showroom pan-India), a whopping Rs 1.45 lakh less than the next trim level, Delta.
