While the Grand Vitara and Urban Cruiser Hyryder are similar on many fronts, here are the top differences between both C-Segment SUVs.

1. Visual Differences

The all-new Grand Vitara looks very different from the front and back, in comparison to the Urban Cruiser Hyryder. The Grand Vitara offers a large single piece grille with honeycomb mesh and chrome surrounds whereas the Urban Cruiser Hyryder gets a slim enclosed grille atop a large radiator grille. The Grand Vitara also gets a unique Nexa signature LED DRL and tail lamp pattern with a 3-pot design. The Hyryder gets sleeker LED DRLs, connecting the chrome grille garnishing on either side and C-shaped LED tail lamps connecting the chrome bar.

2. Variant Segregation

Maruti Suzuki will offer the Grand Vitara in a total of 6 variants — Sigma, Delta, Zeta, Apha, Zeta Plus and Alpha Plus. It is worth mentioning that only the Zeta+ and Alpha+ variants come with the hybrid powertrain, thus making it easier for buyers to decipher the powertrain inside the Plus variants. On the other hand, the Urban Cruiser Hyryder comes in 4 variants — E, S, G and V with the latter 3 variants also getting the hybrid drivetrain. Hence, the Urban Cruiser Hyryder will offer the hybrid powertrain at a more affordable starting price point; although with fewer features.

On the other hand, the Urban Cruiser Hyryder mild-hybrid produces 101.9PS of power at 6000rpm and 135Nm of torque at 4400rpm.
