The engine

1.5L I4 Strong Hybrid SHVS

1.5L I4 Full Hybrid

Unlike Suzuki's mild-hybrid four, this is a full hybrid that can creep and cruise on electric power alone, with the Atkinson-cycle petrol engine handing off seamlessly to a series-parallel electric drive for a near-silent, frugal character.

The strong-hybrid system is sourced from Toyota and the Grand Vitara is built on Toyota's TNGA-C platform, the fruit of the Suzuki-Toyota alliance, with the SUV assembled by Toyota in India alongside its Urban Cruiser Hyryder twin.
