I think these fog lamps are from the new Brezza. Details have been shared by DBHPian Leoshashi here (Maruti Genuine Parts (MGP) Catalog: Post your queries here (model list on Pg 1)).

I bought these Osram LED DRL-cum-Fog lights from Amazon in 2017 and installed in our Wagon R VXi (2012) and after purchasing Brezza ZDi (2018), replaced factory fitted halogen fogs with these Osram LED DRL-cum-Fog light units. They serve as cornering lights and hazard flashers.

I have been an avid reader of this forum since a long while and recently took up membership as for my first post, I wanted to put up a long one about my purchase experience of a brezza zxi+ dual tone on 17.10.20 from Sai Service,Chicalim Goa. The purchase experience and how I ended up choosing the Vitara Brezza over the Venue, then seltos and then the Creta 2020 was a long tell in itself. But that is now for some other time as one week in and I have already been through an horrifying ordeal at the ASC. Imagine the horror I felt when cleaning the vehicle on Dussehra 25.10.20 to find tyre bulges on all tyre sidewalls (including the spare wheel) with vehicle run for 250 km. As it was holiday, took the vehicle to ASC next day, where upon checking other vehicles with and without similar MRF Wanderer tyres no other vehicles were having the same issue. The problems started after the workshop manager flatly refused to acknowledge any issue, saying its a normal characteristic and that "all MRF tyres have bulges on the side walls where the joints are located".

Had to call up Maruti Service manager Mr Akhil Mahajan from Mumbai Office who again repeated what the workshop manager insisted. I finally received an acknowledgement on paper that indeed some undulations have been observed, only after I contacted Mr Sanjay Wali, CEO Sai Service, with Mr Yusuf informing me that he has lost his patience with me. This went on till 20:00 hrs so you all can only imagine the stress I had to face. My only issue is why they are so reluctant to acknowledge an issue in a brand new vehicle? and how could they so callously provide defective tyres to me without any care for the safety of my family? Because surely this should have been seen during PDI. I went against family and friends wishes when going for a premium maruti because I was warned of the neglect towards safety by Maruti, though after reading posts here I felt it would be a safe bet. But I think customer apathy is ingrained at Maruti and has lead to this criminal act of them selling me the vehicle with defective tyres. This has been an eye opener for me and I would like to bring it to the notice of all fellow bhpians too. What scares me is that had I not thoroughly cleaned my tyre it might have been too late

That's really sad to know. But it'll be of great help to everyone if you upload the snaps also of all the tyres. That also helps in out of way escalation if someone from MRF sees this post. When were the tyres manufactured? This post (How to tell the Manufacturing Date of a Tyre) will help you.

I think the answer is to dump Maruti, enough is enough and start looking for other brands after that car. I understand the pain in Goa (I too am from Goa) for non Maruti brands from service perspective but there is a patience limit and in your case it is crossed.
Thanks for sharing this and it will be helpful for some of the blind Maruti believers in Goa on how and why to trust the brand.

I can't upload photos here, been trying since yesterday. The tyres were manufactured during June 2020 as the tyre codes are 2420 and 2520.
Also it's now confirmed by MRF engineer that the tyres are normal and will run optimally. This is truly a shame as it can be clearly seen that maruti / MRF is trying to wiggle its way out of responsibility.

Have you got that in writing from MRF/ASC? If yes, you need to contact a lawyer who specialises in automotive grievances.

Now, to address the elephant in the room, what do you plan to do with the vehicle itself? It is not safe to drive with ALL tyres having bulges.

Maruti Suzuki's 'Petrol only' variant Vitara Brezza beats Hyundai's Venue and Kia's Sonet having multiple engine and Gear box options in OCT-20 sales/dispatches.

Kia Sonet missing from the list, it is clear that Maruti Brezza has managed to take the number 1 spot when it comes to sub 4 meter UV sales category.

This is atrocious. Shame on MRF and Maruti Suzuki for such pathetic and lackluster customer service. Had this been some other brand like TATA, people would've already started bashing the brand. I see banner quotations at MASS like : At Maruti, customer is God, can't they replace tyres as a goodwill gesture?

With over 3 lakh kms of driving experience on 8 different car models and various tyre brands, I can definitely make a strong point that Tyre sidewall bulging is not normal, and it is very risky to drive the car and is prone to tyre blast at any moment. It is like sitting on a ticking time bomb.

I request Mods to give importance to this person's tyre issue on his brand new car and move his posts to a separate thread, and feature it in hot threads. He should get justice, and get replacement of all 5 tyres for the safety of his family. If it is highlighted on Team-BHP, chances are more that this issue will get viral and he might get immediate help from Maruti / MRF.

Hi all, just wanted to check, has anyone managed to install cross bars for a roof basket on the roof rails in the in higher variant? Searched the forum but wasn't able to find any instance of an instalation. I would really appreciate any clarity I can get on this, thanks.


P.S. I ask as most other flush roof rails I have come across, seem to have a lip on the side where the cross bars tighten themselves. The ones on the Brezza don't seem to.

I completed a whirlwind roadtrip in early November with my 2016 Brezza. We covered 3100 km on the Pune-Maheshwar-Dhar-Chittorgadh-Haldighati-Ranakpur-Jaisalmer-Longewala-Tanot-Jailsalmer-Vadodara-Pune route in 6 days. Most of the roads are in excellent condition. 5% of the roads end up testing the ground clearance of the Brezza - which manages what is thrown at it with aplomb.

The Brezza did not give any trouble at all - we started with the odometer at 39027 and returned home at 42137 running on original Apollo Alnac 4G tyres. Overall fuel efficiency was about 21 kmpl. It was just me and my friend traveling so we drove on an average for 5 hours each day or a total of 10 hours on the road - feeling no fatigue what so ever. We drove safely between 80-100 kmph as road conditions permitted. Fastag is accepted in most toll plazas on NH routes, and many of them have Fastag only lanes which help you save time.











Social distancing could be practiced as we stopped at real non-discreet dhabas enroute for food which are spacious and not crowded and stayed in decent hotels that were booked while arriving at the destination - most hotels were running at below 10% occupancy.

Overall very happy with the reliability and mile crunching ability of the Brezza. I have done 700 km Pune-Nagpur solo before - but this was the longest I have traveled in a week's time.

Does anyone have any experience with Gearbox additives in the DDiS gearbox of the Brezza? I am looking to use Liqui Moly one https://www.amazon.in/Liqui-Moly-Gea.../dp/B001CZSGUI - but it is currently unavailable.

Stock halogen projectors swapped with HID projectors in my 2016 ZDi+.
A very neat work done by SP Customs, Ludhiana. I am very much satisfied with the output.

I was using HID projectors in fog lights since 2016 and wanted headlight projector swap since then. Waited for my extended 4 year warranty to be over in 2020 but because of COVID, did it now finally.

Stock halogen projectors are very bad in Brezza, an upgrade is must.

Some pics after upgrade:
