SX4 diesel which is heavier than brezza by around 60kgs with same engine does 0-100 in 13.3 seconds(Autocar magazine).
Yes, live web cast would start at 4 pm

Just more than a few hours for the launch, bookings open for Vitara Brezza !
Overwhelming response before launch ( seems they have converted earlier bookings taken un-officially) Prices rumored to undercut Ecosport substantially (~ 1 L)

[bhansali_hardik]

Have got calls from dealers for the bookings! And they claim to have 100+ already

[r0nit7]

Whatever pricing strategy MS might have had in mind (& people like us, for that matter) would have taken a 2.5% hit due to the additional diesel cess.
It sounds small but would translate into an overall 20k-30k rise in the on-road price. And the ZDi+ which was hovering around 10L mark to begin with will get dearer by an additional 1% if it indeed crosses that mark.
And in times like these, that SHVS badge would have sounded a whole lot better

I just did the booking as well. Booking amount paid 11k.

Keeping the fingers crossed till 4pm

But is SHVS fail proof? Don't want to be getting the engine to switch off while overtaking.

The link that GTO gave us, seems to be dead. Anyone able to get a hang of the webcast?

PS : Have got in now, was the network at my office! Sorry.

Paaji really made a mess out of that by continuously referring to the customer as 'he'. And on International Women's day!

Pictures with the Blue and Yellow Cars

Finally Pricing Details:

Interesting Pricing. The ZDi+ may cross 10L Ex-Showroom in lot of places. Does under cut the Ecosport by a good margin

Q&A:

• Questions on Supply, Availability of Automatics: No clear answers.
• Why only diesels when Supreme Court and other agencies are not in favor of diesel: Again, no clear answer. We will always meet the norms prescribed.
• Why no SHVS in the Brezza: Focus on the Ciaz and Ertiga. Education and Awareness on the capability before bringing it in other models.
• Question on volumes: Target is to capture No 1 in the Segment (That should be easy )

0-100 is 13.3 seconds
