This is taking quite a bold step by Maruti Suzuki in the Indian compact SUV segment. What is peculiar is that it introduced a new variant of the popular Brezza drawing inspiration from the design themes of the Range Rover. Starting at just ₹6 lakh (ex-showroom), it brings in premium SUV styling for those with tighter budgets, offering the trickle-down effect of luxury-looking efficiency and affordability.
A New Look for an Old Name
Brezza has been one of Maruti Suzuki’s biggest selling compact SUVs in India, built for reliability, mileage, and affordable price. This new variant seemingly called the “Mini Range Rover” due to its boxy yet elegant architecture, now flaunts a refreshed front grille, squared LED headlamps, and a more upright stance reminiscent of the honorable luxury SUV. This major visual change boosts its premium presence in the marketplace, while still retaining the practicality of being a compact vehicle.
Efficient Performer with Remarkable Mileage
The new-‘ish’ Brezza variant, powered by the proven 1.5-litre petrol engine, has somehow been optimized for better mileage. Currently claimed at 24 kmpl, it stands as one of the most fuel-efficient vehicles in its segment. Achieving this is the lightweight structure that Suzuki has so planned, along with their Smart Hybrid Technology, a temporary electric assist that kicks in during acceleration to reduce petrol consumption.
Feature-rich Yet More Than Affordable
For an unheard price, the new Brezza cannot forego style or substance. It tips the scales with infotainment system touch screen, auto climate control, dual airbags, ABS and EBD, rear parking sensors, and cruise control, depending on the variant. Maruti wishes to open the sluice gates to premium styling and features for the greater common man through this launch.
Conclusion
It is thus with high SUV styling that introduces the new ₹6 lakh Brezza variant and combines it with the trust and efficiency that we’ve come to associate with Maruti Suzuki. The 24-kmpl mileage and the cheap price tag will attract all first-time SUV buyers and young urban drivers who want something stylish and practical to drive.
