“The launch timeline for the 7-seater Grand Vitara (Y17) has officially shifted. Although initially slated for late 2025, Maruti Suzuki’s updated 2026-27 roadmap now places the arrival between late 2026 and early 2027. This delay likely points toward additional quality control and testing, ensuring the final product meets high consumer expectations.”
“Space for Seven, Adventure for All.”
Specifications: What to Expect Under the Hood
Powering this larger SUV will be familiar and fuel-efficient engines. Maruti is expected to offer the same two petrol-hybrid options that make the current 5-seater Grand Vitara so popular .
| Feature | 1.5L Mild-Hybrid (K15C) | 1.5L Strong-Hybrid (Toyota-sourced) |
|---|---|---|
| Power | ~100-105 bhp | ~115 bhp (Combined) |
| Torque | ~135-140 Nm | ~141 Nm |
| Transmission | 5-Speed Manual / 6-Speed Automatic | e-CVT (Automatic) |

Dimensions and Design
"The new Grand Vitara is growing in size to ensure genuine third-row comfort. Observations from test mules reveal a longer rear profile and larger side windows, hinting at the extra interior volume. Built on a stretched version of the Global C platform, the SUV will cater to different lifestyle needs with two flexible layouts—a plush 6-seater or a practical 7-seater. Up front, enthusiasts can expect the classic Grand Vitara aesthetic, likely refreshed with a unique grille to differentiate it from its smaller sibling."
