Maruti Suzuki has recently launched its much-awaited car, the Vitara Brezza. The sub-compact SUV has renewed the competition in its segment and has pressurised Ford to slash the price of EcoSport considerably. Brezza is of importance to Maruti, which has posited the new entrant as a rival to the Mahindra TUV300 and the Ford EcoSport (check our competition), which have been in business for a while. We checked out Maruti's latest offering and listed 5 aspects that made us feel, you should certainly buy one.
1. Refreshed Design
It is fair to state that Maruti has been quite successful with its designs, and this in turn, has set the car apart from others in its segment. The Indo-Japanese automaker has provided the Brezza a high-stance, which bestows it with a conventional SUV look. Moreover, the roof is painted a different colour, giving the car a younger appeal.
2. Kitna Deti Hai?!
The Vitara Brezza comes with the 1.3-litre DDiS200 diesel engine, which offers a mileage of 24.3 kmpl. Now, this figure is the best in its class and, considering the fact that the car is a sub-compact SUV, the number is even more impressive. Closest to this is the EcoSport diesel, which gives an average of 22.3 kmpl.
The high fuel average becomes all the more important in the Indian context, where people love asking “Kitna deti hai?”.

3. Competitive Price
Price is another area where the carmaker has been able to outshine others. The Vitara Brezza diesel has been launched at a price of Rs. 6.99 lac (ex-showroom, Delhi). This is economical in every sense! The low price becomes more pronounced, when one realises that Ford has brought down the price of Brezza’s toughest rival, the EcoSport. Earlier, you had to pay a minimum of Rs. 8.41 lac for the EcoSport (diesel variant), but now, after the Brezza has taken to the roads, the price has been reduced to Rs. 7.28 lakh.
4. Safety Features
The company incorporates dual airbags, anti-lock braking system (ABS) with electronic brake-force distribution (EBD) in the car, right from the base variant. This is certainly a laudable move by Maruti, since it is important to educate the Indian audience about safety. Partial credit for the same goes to the government, which has been pressing for such features in cars for a while now.
5. Trusted Mill
Last but not the least, the Brezza has Maruti’s most reliable mill, the DDiS200. The engine powers a fleet of cars for Maruti, including the Ciaz, the Ertiga and the S Cross. In the latest offering, it produces 88bhp of power and 200Nm of torque. The car is quick enough to complete a 0–100 kmph sprint in 13.3 seconds.
