The Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza has been on sale in the market since 2016. The car did not see any major updates apart from the changes of features on certain variants. The vehicle is now waiting for a major facelift as the design of this vehicle is a bit outdated and the car has not seen any major updates. Also, there are a lot of new entrants in this market which has eaten into the market share of the Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza.
The snapped model gets a cleaner front profile with what looks like LED headlamps that get integrated indicators and DRLs, unlike the outgoing model that features indicators on the bumper and no DRLs. The front chrome grille remains intact with a slight update where as the fog lamp enclosures have become a lot simpler than before.
The side profile remains the same as before save for the new alloy wheel design while the rear might get a couple of updates. If you are expecting to see a sunroof, prepare to be disappointed. In our opinion, this is unlikely to be the range-topping ZXI+ model as fog lamps are missing.
Here Are The 5 Things You Should Look For Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza
1. Cosmetic changes
The Maruti Vitara Brezza facelift has a bold and muscular styling. This has been improved further to match with the contemporary design lines. The Vitara Brezza has been perceived as a tough vehicle. The grille of the vehicle has been given a fresh look which also pairs along with the bumpers of the vehicle. The rear bumper of the vehicle also will see some updates. There is a chance that the size of the sunroof will also be bigger and will be provided on the topmost variant. This will be a game-changer because this is not something we expect from Maruti.
2. Engine
Maruti’s announcement to stop manufacturing diesel vehicles from April 2020 had stirred some debates about the discontinuation of the Maruti Vitara Brezza. But now when the car has been spotted while testing then we can expect a BS6 version of the vehicle. The compact SUV will get a 1.5-litre engine which will be paired with SHVS. This will be a petrol engine. Also there will be a 1.0-litre turbo petrol engine e which will be much more punchy and fun to drive. The 1.5-litre engine currently makes 104bhp of power and 138 Nm of torque.
3. New Specifications
The car is compliant with the current safety norms. The Vitara Brezza has ABS paired along with electronic brake distributions. The vehicle also gets dual front airbags and the seat belt reminder. The rear parking sensors and high-speed alert system also come as standard on this vehicle. We expect the vehicle to retain the same cabin. There won’t be many changes in the cabin. The only new thing in the cabin will be the new infotainment system. This will come along with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto support.
4. Launch
