Most Helpful Review

Good

Looks good. Interior good with spacious and comfortable seats. Nice car for big family. Travelling long distance is very comfortable. Smooth handling and driving car in highway is very good.

Best buy

Best car of this segment. Lovely look from out side as well as nice interiors. Value for money car. I drove my Grand Vitara Sigma for 100 km on highway with 27.1 Km/l. I was completely surprised to see the performance. My car's first service has been done with 'zero' expanse. Loved the service of Maruti Suzuki. One bad thing i faced that in Sigma variant the back camera fitting was not proper. Over-all best buy.
