While buying a new car, it is important for everyone to worry about mileage. Auto companies also understand this concern of the customers. That’s why we are seeing the trend of electric and hybrid cars in the market. Maruti Suzuki Launched the first strong hybrid car Grand Vitara in September 2022. Now the company is preparing to expand the range of hybrid cars. According to reports, the company is planning to introduce several new cars with hybrid technology. Hybrid cars are great in terms of mileage, and run more per litre.
Coming to the Maruti Grand Vitara itself, it is the most fuel efficient SUV in India. The Grand Vitara returns a mileage of 27.97 kmpl, similar to the Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyrider. According to the report of ET Auto, India’s largest car company will introduce several upcoming models as hybrid cars.
