Depending on the variant and driving conditions, the Grand Vitara offers a mileage range between 19.38 kmpl and 27.97 kmpl.

Safety has been a focus for this model, with all variants equipped with six airbags, ABS with EBD, electronic stability program, hill hold assist, rear parking sensors, and a reverse parking camera. While the Indian variant hasn’t yet been crash-tested under Bharat NCAP, the Japan-spec export version scored four stars under JNCAP, showing strong collision performance and preventive safety.

The Grand Vitara measures 4,345 mm in length, 1,795 mm in width, and 1,645 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2,600 mm and ground clearance of 210 mm. These dimensions give it a commanding road presence, roomy cabin space, and the ability to tackle moderate off-road conditions, while still being manageable in urban traffic.

The 2025 Grand Vitara comes with a 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system supporting Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, heads-up display, 360-degree camera, wireless charging, panoramic sunroof, dual-zone automatic climate control, LED projector headlamps, and ambient lighting. This combination of tech, comfort, and convenience helps it stand out among compact SUVs.

The Grand Vitara is suited for buyers who want a premium mid-size SUV with modern hybrid technology, strong safety features, a comfortable and tech-loaded cabin, and a commanding presence on the road. It appeals to urban families, professionals, and tech-savvy individuals who value both style and substance in a car.

The 2026 Seltos is not just a facelift. It rides on a new platform with a longer wheelbase, wider stance, updated interiors and a fresh design that feels more premium and bold compared to the earlier Seltos.

It has an aggressive front fascia with Kia’s new “Digital Tiger Face” grille, vertical LED DRLs, sharper body lines and a wider track, making it look more SUV-like and confident on the road than the older model.

Yes, the Seltos now carries the same bold design cues seen in bigger Kia SUVs like the Kia EV9 and Kia Telluride, giving it a premium feel and a stronger road presence.

Kia positions it as a premium mid-size SUV with strong tech and safety features, targeting buyers who want more than basic SUVs but without stepping up to the pricier large SUV segment.

It competes with rivals like the Hyundai Creta, Tata Sierra, Maruti Grand Vitara, and other mid-size SUVs.

The base trim offers essential SUV tech such as touchscreen infotainment, multiple airbags, ABS with EBD, rear parking sensors and good build quality.

Buyers who want a feature-rich, bold looking SUV with options in petrol, turbo petrol and diesel, strong safety kit, and comfortable cabin space will find the Seltos hard to ignore.
