The country's largest passenger vehicles maker, Maruti Suzuki India (MSIL), on Wednesday introduced its Vitara Brezza with a new, enhanced look, and with the option of auto gear shift, priced between Rs. 8.54 lakh and Rs. 10.49 lakh (ex-showroom).

The exterior and interior features have been given a makeover, enhancing the bold and sporty character of the country’s most popular SUV. The new alloy wheels, in glossy black finish, add sportiness to the SUV's muscular wheel arches, the company said.

To complement the premium look, the front door chrome grille and back door chrome garnish have been made standard across all variants. The urban compact SUV’s interiors have been refreshed with an all-black colour scheme and complementing accents, it said.

“Vitara Brezza has been a game changer for India’s SUV market. We have enhanced its allure to meet the aspirations of our young customers. They now have the option of auto gear shift, the acclaimed two-pedal technology, for enhanced convenience. AGS has been very well accepted by customers, and sales of AGS variants in the Maruti Suzuki portfolio have tripled in three years," R S Kalsi, Senior Executive Director (Marketing and Sales), MSIL, said.

MSIL’s AGS technology has been fine-tuned for an optimum performance on Vitara Brezza, based on rigorous research of various driving patterns, he said.

Launched in 2016, Vitara Brezza had garnered cumulative sales of around 2.75 lakh units. In 2017-18, the company had sold 1,48,462 units. Its average monthy sales stands at over 12,300 units. Top variants (Z/Z+) contribute 56 per cent of its total sales, the company said.

Vitara Brezza now complies with advanced safety regulations, including pedestrian safety, ahead of regulation timelines. The refreshed Vitara Brezza comes loaded with new safety features comprising ISOFIX child restraint system, high speed warning alert, dual air bags, ABS with EBD, reverse parking sensors and front seat belt pre-tensioners and force limiters, the company added.
