Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

Maruti Grand Vitara
- Gets an upright SUV stance
- LED light details help it look modern and premium
- Strong Hybrid variant claims a high efficiency of 27.97kmpl
- Fit, finish and quality of interiors are impressive. Certainly the best from Maruti yet.
- Comes loaded with premium feature like ventilated seats, heads-up display, digital instrument cluster, 360 degree camera and wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay
- Powertrain options include mild-hybrid, strong-hybrid, manual and automatic transmission options and all-wheel drive.
MG ZS EV
- Understated and classy styling
- Rich interior quality. Feels very upmarket
- Good features list - 10.1-inch touchscreen, digital instrument cluster, etc.
- Realistically achievable range of 300-350km on a full charge

Maruti Grand Vitara
- No diesel engine option
- A lot of premium features are reserved only for the Strong Hybrid variant
MG ZS EV
- Rear seat space is good but some may expect a roomier experience for the price
- Boot space could’ve been more generous
- EV charging infrastructure is inconsistent. Home/work charging and the portable charger will be more dependable than public charging
- Some ergonomic flaws - lumbar cushioning feels excessive, front armrest may be too tall for short drivers
