Maruti Suzuki India (MSIL) has introduced its Vitara Brezza with a new, enhanced look, and with the option of auto gear shift, priced between ₹8.54 lakh and ₹10.49 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi).
The SUV launched on Wednesday will give tough competition to the likes of Ford EcoSport, Tata Nexon and Mahindra TUV300 who are already offering such technology in their vehicles.
The exterior and interior features have been given a makeover.
The new alloy wheels 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 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," said RS Kalsi, Senior Executive Director (Marketing and Sales).
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 monthly 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 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.
