Maruti Suzuki’s Vitara Brezza has been a blockbuster success. Thanks to the market leader’s unique ability to gauge the pulse of the market, the Vitara Brezza came in at the right moment capturing the hearts of buyers looking to change over to a new body style from their premium hatchbacks. The SUV wave has been sweeping across segments, and the Vitara Brezza hit the right note with its upright compact SUV design and price position.
The Vitara Brezza was earlier available only with a diesel engine, and now after exactly four years since it was originally launched, Maruti has swung to the other extreme and launched the new model with only a petrol engine.
