Regarding Noise level of Diesel Engine. I have a perspective which is purely personal. Most people may not be able to identify with my feelings and may have to take next few lines with a pinch of salt. Here it goes, Just imagine you are driving alone on a long winding road where you know for next 20 odd kms there will be no traffic. You turn off the music, drive on and just listen to the sound of silence. I think to some it may be kind of magical, to few it is like meditation. | |

Today's diesel cars are very different from old world diesel engines. The Maruti cars running Multijets are even quieter than the Punto's even though they they share the same engine. Its been over 5 years since I bought my Swift diesel and after 85k kms, I still love the sheer drivability. The car pulls cleanly from standstill and can keep pottering around at very low speeds in 2nd gear in city traffic with little or no accelerator inputs, and yet, the same car can do triple digit speeds with ease especially once the turbo kicks in post 2k RPM. Its a gem of an engine, believe me. Mileage is excellent, with it giving me over 17kmpl in city driving. Maintenance and Noise & Vibration levels are indeed on the higher side as compared to petrol cars, with batteries costing nearly twice as much, and engine oil changes being pricey too, but on the whole, its very good value for money, and I'm pleased with the switch to diesel. Please do a lengthy test drive on the regular roads you drive on, and see for yourself if this car is suitable or not. All the best. | |

| ![]() Some comments by Mr CV Raman, executive director of engineering and R&D, MSIL, and chief engineer of the Vitara Brezza project to Autocar.
Note: I think this is an Auto Expo Video presented again as an article. So may been posted here at launch time. Source: ACI Last edited by Rajeevraj : 18th February 2016 at 14:27. |

The more I look at the pictures, the more I think this looks like the Skoda Fabia on stilts. For a ground up and fresh design, there is nothing about the car that really excites and indicates that it is a 2016 release. | |

To each, his own. IMO, this Vitara Brezza looks better as an SUV than the international Vitara. Last edited by romeomidhun : 19th February 2016 at 11:20. |

Thanks for your feedback, I found you post to be very honest and it will go a long way in making me more confident to go for a Diesel Engine. As you suggested i will surely do a lengthy Drive of VB and then decide. I will be looking forward to get more concrete support from TBHPians on owning,running and living with Diesel Engine in future. | |

How good it would've been if they had launched the Vitara instead of S-Cross, since the main disadvantage of S-Cross is its looks in which Vitara excels? | |

Looks like a direct pick of the design elements from a Panda. Please check below pic on the panda instrument console with similar circular edged design queues. |

Agree completely. Even now they can launch the international vitara here, and can position it along with scross - at least in the 1.6L ddis category. | |
