It only offers a few more features but also introduces the option of an automatic transmission

The one-above-base Delta variant of the Maruti Grand Vitara attracts a premium of nearly Rs 1.5 lakh for a few more key features. It is also the entry-level option for those seeking the compact SUV with an automatic transmission. Let’s see if it’s the one for you:

Variant	MT	AT
Delta	Rs 11.9 lakh	Rs 13.4 lakh
Zeta	Rs 13.89 lakh	Rs 15.39 lakh
Difference	Rs 1.99 lakh	Rs 1.99 lakh

Why consider the Grand Vitara Delta variant?

The Delta trim is the true entry-level option for the Grand Vitara SUV. It gets features like climate control, a touchscreen infotainment system with connected car tech, rear parking camera, cruise control and a fold-out rear armrest. The optional six-speed torque converter automatic with paddle shifters raises the practicality factor of the Delta trim.

Here are the features on offer:

	Exterior	Interior	Comfort and convenience	Infotainment	Safety
Highlights	Bi-halogen projector headlamps LED DRLs LED taillamps ORVM with turn indicator Steel wheel with caps Sharkfin antenna	Dual-tone black and brown interior Front sliding armrest Driver seat height adjust 60:40 split fold rear seats Reclining rear seats Rear centre armrest with cupholders Adjustable headrests	Auto AC with rear vents USB ports front and rear (1 & 2) Cruise control Keyless entry Power folding ORVMs	7-inch infotainment touchscreen Apple CarPlay and Android Auto 4.2-inch TFT MID 4-speakers	Dual front airbags Rear parking camera with sensors ISOFIX anchorage ABS with EBD ESP Hill hold control Manual IRVM

Why skip the Delta variant?

The Delta trim doesn’t offer any of the premium features that are the star attraction of the new Maruti flagship SUV. The higher variants get equipment that makes it look the part such as alloy wheels and LED headlamps. They also offer additional features like a panoramic sunroof, increased number of airbags and a larger infotainment display.

Maruti Grand Vitara

Sigma	It is too basic to recommend, but acts as an affordable entry-point to the compact SUV segment.
Delta	The true entry-level option on a strict budget, only consider it with the automatic transmission.
Zeta	With the strong hybrid powertrain, it is our recommended variant for its premium features and fuel economy.
Alpha	To truly experience all its premium features, you’ll have to pay the premium for the strong hybrid powertrain. Can be considered for its AWD option as well.
