Grand Vitara VS Hyryder – Design
The exterior is where the primary differences can be easily spotted. The front grille, headlight housing, and cladding are very different on these cars. While Toyota has gone with a more flashy approach, Maruti has kept things a bit more classy and premium-looking. From the side, both these SUVs look very similar, but things change again once you go towards the behind. Both the SUVs follow a slim LED setup for the taillights. On the Vitara, the lights are separated by a handsome light bar, while the Toyota uses a chrome strip. The overall look and feel of these SUVs is very different when inspected in detail, and Maruti looks a little bit better in this Grand Vitara VS Hyryder section!

Interiors
On the inside, these cars look pretty much the same. However, the Vitara follows an all-black/black-tan combination while the Hyryder follows a black/brown finish. Both get a 9-inch infotainment system, leather seats, ventilated seats, and a heads-up display. The show stopper here is the panoramic sunroof. It brings in a lot of light into the cabin and makes it feel much bigger. Moreover, the opening area on these sunroofs is massive, definitely the biggest in the segment!
