Talk about safety and the word 'grip' seldom pops out in conversations. Yet grip is an important factor when it comes to passive safety in a vehicle. What better way to optimise grip than to have power delivered to all four wheels via an all-wheel-drive drivetrain?
What gives an all-wheel drivetrain the edge over other two-wheel-drive vehicles is that the system automatically detects road conditions and sends the required power to each wheel to offer optimal traction. This gives the vehicle significantly more grip allowing it to cope with higher cornering speeds which makes taking on corners that much safer. Also, it is this kind of traction that provides a key benefit in offering maximum grip and a higher level of control in challenging conditions such as snow, mud, ice, sand, rocks, steep climbs and more. Suzuki has been perfecting its AWD technology with AllGrip since 2013. This technology has been powering its SUVs sold across the globe and comes to India with the new Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara.
Maruti Suzuki has offered AWD SUVs in India in the past. In fact, Maruti Suzuki's AWD technology has proven to be quite capable, its SUVs have been a dominant force in Indian rallies, winning several rallies and championships. The all-new Grand Vitara is a premium midsize SUV and comes packing key segment firsts like strong hybrid tech as well as an all-wheel drivetrain.
