The more i am reading such posts i am getting a feeling if it will be worth to wait for face lift version/wait for booster jet petrol/wait for AWD etc,etc. But then i rationalise, why should i flock such a feeling even before i have seen the car in flesh and have not experienced a TD. I should better hold my horses and reserve my thoughts. Maybe i get bowled over the first time i behold the VB. I hope so. |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() Gosh! Why did the change the signature grill? The Chrome grill looks hideous. They should have saved this for upgrades later. |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() Is this hideous chrome grill gonna be a standard fitment or an add-on? Seriously considering this car (petrol) but not with that grill. No way. |

| ![]() Hideous? Sireously? The chrome bar on the Grille is quite in line with the recent face-lift of the Dzire and the Erica. Infact on the VB it looks even better, imparting the vehicle with a bold and sturdy look seen head-on. |

| ![]() The grill looks the same from the first page images vis-à-vis the images shared a couple of pages ago. It is probably the lights that are making the chrome stand out more in recent images. Either which way that grill looks butch and the chrome enhances the stance of the vehicle. My opinion though, of course people can have their out opinions. Waiting for a TD and price announcement. This one fits everything in my check list, especially in that dual tone yellow color. That is what I am eyeing to buy if all goes well. |

![]() The petrol engine will come in S Cross first and later in VB, so timing could be a concern , if you are in a hurry to get the Vitara Brezza. Last edited by volkman10 : 24th February 2016 at 08:37. | |

Assume: i. A cost-saving of Rs 1/- per KM for Diesel (really rough estimate) ii. You will keep the car for 6 years iii. The price difference between Petrol and Diesel model is Rs 1 lakh. Your break-even will happen at the end of 6 years. That means you are on the fence between the 2 - but as you need a car by June, you can go ahead with the Diesel, IMO. | |

1. Higher diesel residual value. 2. The mental satisfaction of lower fuel bills each and every time. | |

Yes, there is a mental satisfaction seeing lower fuel bills, but the same satisfaction - though not as regular as this one - is there seeing lower maintenance and insurance bills, an fd in the bank, seeing no black smoke from the exhaust while revving hard, and the regular threat of banning diesel vehicles older than 'x' years in your city. ![]() Last edited by romeomidhun : 24th February 2016 at 12:09. | |

Infractions: 0/1 (7) | ![]() The following version of this car will be a good thing for the Indian conditions, and will be a good alternative to the 7 / 5+2 seater MUV/SUV vehicles like Ertiga, Innova, Scorpio and XUV: i. Length: 4.5m ii. 7-seater iii. 120BHP 1.6 petrol and diesel engines iv. Priced in the 8 - 12 lakhs range Also, if Maruti don't want to refresh Gypsy, they can bring a rough-road package with the following: i. Length: 4m ii. An increased ground clearance of 240mm iii. Bigger tyres iv. Tail gate mounted spare wheel v. Bonnet scoop vi. Sun roof vii. Bull-bars (?) viii. 1.6L Petrol and Diesel engines with SHVS to avail tax exemption ix. Priced in the 7-10L range Last edited by romeomidhun : 25th February 2016 at 12:23. |
