Maruti Suzuki launched its highly anticipated compact SUV, the Vitara Brezza, at Rs 6.99 lakhs on 8 February. The car has registered 5,600 bookings in the first 48 hours. Based on Suzuki's global C platform, Vitara Brezza has been engineered in India with 98 per cent localization. The Vitara Brezza competes directly with the Mahindra TUV300 and the Ford EcoSport in the compact SUV segment. However, in the price bracket of Rs 5–10 lakh, you also have cross hatches like the Hyundai i20 Active which you can consider buying.
So here’s a list of cross hatchbacks that you can compare with the Maruti Vitara Brezza in our market:
