Can the Grand Vitara really compete with rivals when it comes to the infotainment system?
Today, infotainment systems are a key element in the driving experience and can play a part in the purchasing decision. SmartPlay Pro+ infotainment system with touchscreen, smartphone connectivity and smart features is on offer on the Grand Vitara. In a segment where tech features are changing all the time, there's a debate as to how the Grand Vitara's system measures up against the competition. The subject of this discussion is the comparison of sizes in screen, resolution, reactivity, user interface design and features like the availability of features such as wireless integration of smartphones, voice command and the over the air updates. Further, controversing automotive enthusiasts and potential buyers are organized to the infotainment system's integration with other vehicle functions and overall contribution to the perceived value of the vehicle.
Infotainment wise, the Grand Vitara is decent, but not special. It works but isn’t as polished as Hyundai or Kia systems.
I actually find Maruti's simpler approach better. It's easy to use and has no unnecessary bloat. Not everyone wants a tech overload in their car.
The screen can be bigger and higher resolution. There's nothing wrong with it, but it seems a bit dated compared to what you get in some rivals. Here, Maruti needs to up their game.
But for most users, the Grand Vitara’s system is more than adequate. It has all the necessary features and it works great. What more do you need?
It’s a big miss that there’s no wireless Android Auto or Apple CarPlay. This is becoming the norm in this segment and Maruti should have offered it.
The Grand Vitara's infotainment is snappy and intuitive, I find. It's no fancy rig, but it's not a deal breaker by any means.
The issue isn’t the system, it’s the lack of physical buttons for key functions. Use of the touchscreen can be distracting when driving.
