YouTube is full of videos of vloggers trying to ‘test’ the build quality of popular vehicles by pressing the panels and knocking on the doors.
In this video, a vlogger is seen ‘testing’ the build quality of the Maruti Grand Vitara by pressing and knocking on the body panels. Now, we must understand that the actual GNCAP crash test takes a lot more things into consideration before assigning safety ratings to cars. Just by performing such activities won’t reflect the actual build of the vehicle. Nevertheless, it certainly gives an idea of how strong the exterior of the SUV is for everyday use.

Decent Fit and Finish
On the inside, the fit and finish of the Grand Vitara is quite decent. The quality of plastics used is not premium. But the door panels come with soft-touch materials. However, shutting the doors reveals an unpleasant sound, mentions the vlogger. The roof from the inside also feels sturdy which will not be the case in the higher trims with the sunroof. Overall, the quality is decent to rival other products in the segment.
