Moving on to cosmetics, the Grand Vitara looks nothing like its Toyota counterpart. The front end of the Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara looks inspired by the new Baleno, featuring LED headlamps with LED DRLs in a three-dot pattern. The wide grille receives chrome and piano black inserts, giving it a more premium look. Overall, the front end looks a bit similar to that of the international S-Cross.
