You should have tried it in the sport mode. When u put it in lock mode it automatically engages snow mode which restricts the power by nature, on the other hand if u engage sport mode it will not restrict power and will send the power where needed. I own a hyryder awd and I have noticed this personally. It is pretty capable, specially if you change the tyres.
Snow is the only way you can lock it in AWD. Hence, we used it in all the obstacles with TC off. We did try Sports mode as well BTS, did not help. But I completely agree, this is super capable, just needs the right set of tyres. Said that in the verdict as well.
@@heerasagarbora3782 for the sake of keeping the results consistent, it was not a part of the video. We try multiple things when we have the cars for testing and evaluation.
How can they call this a Grand Vitara. It's an on road all wheel drive. Bring back the original Grand Vitara with a proper low range transfer case and usable traction control... There is virtually no competition for it in the 4x4 market even today.
You need to drop the tire pressure to 18PSI , then it will be easy to ride off-road. You should’ve driven the GV in Sports and Auto mode. Snow mode is not for hill climbs.
I own GV AWD and i am always searching its capabilities when it comes to off road. I have tried my self many off road obstacle and i have noticed that its a game of momentum , plus if the tyres are changed it will perform completely different. Further Rightly said Maruti to bring turbo engine in India and when i was buying GV i had seen the video of Gv in international market with powerful engine. Nevertheless the GV will be able to take us from terrain of Leh Ladakh to light snowing roads in north. Hope you will give more insight of the GV as winter is coming.
Indeed. I was hoping for that 1.5 DDiS diesel to return in BS6 and BS6.2 form, but Maruti Suzuki is far too chicken to do just that. Now I'm wondering how amazing the Grand Vitara would've been with that diesel engine.
what both jumny and grand vitara AWD need 2L turbo charged engine and six speed manual gearbox to make really hot for thar, not able to under stand why skoda is shying away from AWD version of kushaq 1.5 MT
Jimny is still fine with its engine tune IMO, however the GV definitely needs a punchier engine. As for the VW and Skoda, no point really when you look at it from a market point of view. 4Motion on the Taigun would be epic.

That's because the traction control kicks in automatically when it detects the tyres moving all over the place . Its like a safety tech that turns of power going to the wheels in order to not lose balance. Less tyre rotation= Less speed = More control
Hlw tushar... I'm confused in gv colour....want to buy silver dual tone like yours but it's not available to visit in my city.. What you think is best colour

It was extremely enjoyable. Both the vehicles will be a dream to own. In the end I will go for the AWD Vitara. Does it also come with Aotumatic Transmission?
You guys completely ignored tyres. 😐😐 Grand Vitara's issue is not power or torque, it's the tyres that are absolutely road biased (and rightfully so). Give the grand vitara a little more grippy set of tyres, it'll do at least 60% better in all of these situations.
We did not ignore it, but both cars are tested in the factory spec. Mentioned the tyres bit in the verdict. And yes, AT tyres will make a huge difference.
@@nabeelkhan4878 first of all, thanks for clarifying that it was the company spec version that you have compared. That solves my complaint. But could have mentioned it in the review. I saw that you did mention it in the final verdict, but the mentions to power and torque were not on point. Both Vitara and Jimny have same but different series of engines with almost the same outputs of torque and power. Both also being similarly heavy as well, there's nothing much other than the AT tyres at work here. I say that for the given conditions. Jimny would still perform better owing to the ladder frame and other aspects like the ground clearance and approach and departure angles. However for the given conditions, Vitara would have done much better with just better tyres.
@@zigwheels thanks for the clarity. I think it needed a mention in the review when it began. But also tyres could have been a matter of focus although you mentioned it in the end. The power and weight of both are almost the same on both. Ladder frame and Clearance might have served Jimny better but Grand Vitara would have done much better if with AT tyres.
@@Antonyeratt While the engines show similar outputs on paper, the nature of the power delivery is very different. The Jimny offers a lot more usable torque lower down in the rev band and hence it has a higher ability to pull under load conditions. GV, sadly does not. On the road too, with a full load, it struggles to go up a mountain road. This lack of low down torque makes it stall when you demand a lot of pulling power. It's not the TC, it's the lack of pulling power from the engine.

The Grand Vitara needs a bigger (read better) engine to fully utilise the awd system as well as the very fine platform.

The GV AWD is in no mans land. It needs the AT tyres and the powertrain upgrade to make it worth considering.
why did they drive GV too carefully than Jimny? did maruti suzuki ask them to do so?
Can anyone explain why it cuts off power
That's because the traction control kicks in automatically when it detects the tyres moving all over the place . Its like a safety tech that turns of power going to the wheels in order to not lose balance. Less tyre rotation= Less speed = More control
@@Alex-ud4tl didn't they turn off the traction control though, or can it not be turned off
The traction control was off, the rev cut off seemed to be the same reason as in many modern cars - to prevent over revving.
Grand Vitara AWD, why does the Grand Vitara in Indonesia use FWD??
Dusty trails, thrilling conquests-offroading's heartbeat echoes in this exhilarating adventure.
Amazing, what can do GV on road tires and without Low Range gears. Good job, Suzuki !
