Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara Sigma vs Delta vs Zeta vs Alpha

Maruti Suzuki has finally ended the drought of a proper midsize SUV in its lineup with the introduction of the all-new Grand Vitara. The comeback of the ‘Grand Vitara’ nameplate has happened in the form of an all-new SUV, which will be offered with two powertrain options – 1.5-litre mild-hybrid petrol and 1.5-litre full-hybrid petrol.

Let’s start with the 1.5-litre mild-hybrid petrol engine first, which will be offered in four variants – Sigma, Delta, Zeta and Alpha. In all these four variants, the naturally-aspirated petrol engine claims 103 PS of maximum power and 136.8 Nm of maximum torque. All the four variants with this engine come standard with a 5-speed manual gearbox, though from the Delta variant onwards, you do get the option of a 6-speed automatic transmission. Following is a description of all the four variants:
