Maruti to relaunch Grand Vitara next month
Maruti Suzuki India, once a major player in the domestic SUV segment with its Gypsy, has been trying hard to show its presence in the sports utility vehicle market again but failed so far. So in line to compete with its rivals in the segment, the company is mulling over to re-launch its SUV Grand Vitara with more powerful 2400cc powertrain. Besides a bigger engine, the new Grand Vitara will carry minor changes in body design and interiors. The launch may take place next month but the company didn't want to say anything about it yet. Insiders, though, confirming the news. The SUV will be pitted against General Motors' Captiva, Hyundai Tucson, Ford Endeavour, Mitsubishi Pajero and Outlander, as well as the yet-to-be launched Skoda Yeti and Toyota's Fortuner. Sales of the third-generation 5-seater Grand Vitara fell to 270 vehicles in FY09 against 795 units in the previous year. More than 25,000 SUVs priced over Rs 10 lakh are sold in India every year.
