There will be a heavy shower of discounts and benefits in the coming months for those planning to buy a new SUV. Several carmakers are offering attractive discounts to increase footfall to their showrooms ahead of the upcoming Diwali festive season. Maruti Suzuki, India’s largest passenger vehicle manufacturer, is also offering benefits across its product range, including the Maruti Grand Vitara.  

The Grand Vitara lineup is available in the price range of Rs 10.77 lakh – Rs 19.77 lakh (all, ex-showroom). Buyers can currently avail total benefits of up to Rs 2.70 lakh, including a zero road tax of up to Rs 1.85 lakh, an exchange bonus of Rs 75,000 or scrappage benefit of Rs 45,000, an upgrade bonus of Rs 30,000 and a corporate benefit of Rs 10,000 along with a 5-year warranty.

It’s important to note that customers can’t combine the Rs 75,000 exchange bonus with the Rs 45,000 scrappage bonus, as these are alternative benefits. The upgrade bonus might also have eligibility conditions, while the exact exchange amount varies with the age of the vehicle. Furthermore, road-tax savings depending on the state or city.
