Design – The Vitara Brezza is the first-in-class to offer dual-tone colour options and it is also the first one to be offered with three themes namely Glamour, Urban and Sporty which differ from one another in a lot of ways.

The Vitara Brezza is the first Maruti product to be developed in India by the Indian R&D team which is clearly evident on the design that seems to be crafted especially for the Indian market. The front end looks fresh with the projector headlamps and LED DRLs while the turn indicators are placed above the fog lamps that resembles a design cue seen on early 800s. The overall stance does not look as tall as the competitors, however, the linear design helps it have a distinct appearance.

The motor also does duty on the S-Cross, Ertiga and Ciaz while the later two are equipped with a hybrid SHVS technology. The compact SUV offers best-in-class fuel efficiency of 24.3 km/l. The Maruti Vitara Brezza does 0-100 km/hr sprint in 13.3 seconds.
