It carries a Maruti badge! And that says it all!

Also, I read an article about the huge growth and demand in the compact SUV market. No doubt people are lapping up the newest Maruti offering in the hottest compact SUV space.

Do you folks really think it deserves such great numbers? I mean, it's a decent product but then what's so special about it that people are actually willing to wait as long as 6 months for the vehicle! No offense meant to any owners or perspective buyers. I would personally prefer the Ecosport any day when compared to Brezza.

The design is not radical or revolutionary. It's rather neutral which will appeal to lot more people. Plus the fact that it's a Maruti is like icing on the cake. The numbers are pretty much expected for such a product IMO. For me, Ecosport felt like an alien from some angles. I know lots of ecosport lovers however. For each their own.

Probably it's because of the lighting inside the showroom. I doubt if they're blacked out since there was nothing mentioned about it in the accessories list. The carbon fibre roof with the side pillars was quoted at 16k.

Hello Everyone,

First, a big thanks to Moderators for approving my Team-BHP membership. Thrilled, excited and glad to join a family which has proven itself to be the most trusted, genuine and reliable community in it's domain. For any automobile enthusiast, it is always a visual treat and a learning path to deep dive into those exhaustive car reviews, member posts and advises presented across the forum. And what better thread than the Vitara Brezza's official review for my debut post, that i have been following diligently since it became live.

I first saw Brezza in flesh at the Delhi Auto Expo 2016. Looking at Ford Ecosport then and now Vitara Brezza, it becomes a no-brainer that Compact SUV's are sure on a rage in India and hence pushing Hyundai to postpone the plans for their MPV and advance their sub 4m concept- Carlino. Some serious commendable efforts from Maruti Suzuki engineers to come-up with such a product (design) under the sub 4m category, that distinctly stands out and offers all creature comforts and then some required by the Indian masses. I would be looking forward to the 1.0 turbocharged petrol mill that, as the story goes, is in plans for a launch soon.

Regards,

Have heard it's a very good and proven engine. From the current Suzuki ones I am not sure which one is suitable.

The Vitara Brezza has enabled Maruti-Suzuki to grab a healthy 26% of the overall utility vehicle market in the past 2 months. It's a rise of over 11% for the numero uno domestic auto giant since the Brezza was launched.

Comparatively, Mahindra & Mahindra has lost over 6% of it's UV market share despite 3 big launches in recent times - the TUV300, the KUV100 & the NuvoSport.

Analysts expect Maruti to be able to maintain its share at the current level as the newly-launched Brezza has got over 50,000 bookings till end-April, which could mean a run-rate of around 8,000 units for the next six months.

The gain in market share in a segment with higher margins is expected to be an overall positive for Maruti, even if it has witnessed sales decline in the entry-level mini segment which contributes to one-third of its volumes. Analysts are now looking at Maruti as an upgrade brand, compared to a previous description of first-time buyers’ choice.

“Maruti has not only credibly maintained its market share over the past few years now, but has in our view earned an upgrade brand status. One key concern with Maruti has always been the perception that it is primarily a first time buyer’s choice, but less of an aspirational brand,” HSBC recently said in a report.

“But with new launches such as Ciaz, Baleno, S-Cross and Vitara Brezza, it has started to attract the attention of upgrade buyers as well. This is a significant achievement and should underscore the long-term strong positioning of Maruti in India,” the HSBC report said.

That black on blue actually looks great though I would have preferred glossy black over the carbon fibre wrap.

Drive on,

Just wait for the vehicle to reach the dealer and then act. What would they do with it if you cancel the booking late. There will be an extra vehicle with them which you can buy. Do you have any known people at the dealership?

Do you really think the dealer will coerce the guy not to cancel the booking, with all the loong waiting period? They'll happily pass it to someone who is next in line or someone who is ready to pay the premium.

Since the guy is already smitten, they know he'll not go for another brand & will opt for Brezza itself.

Ask your dealer to email TSM or RM and get special permission to change booking. Maruti has provisions for such things on case to case basis. In your case you are not changing the car booking into someone else's name to gain a profit but in your company's name for the lease.
