Maruti Vitara Brezza : Official Review

Ranjimso · 22nd April 2016, 18:50

Hi guys, got the Brezza delivered yesterday. The process was seamless and kudos to the team at Pratham Motors (Queens Road). Special thanks to SA Nayana, her TL Harry.

I picked the granite grey and was thinking about giving it a dual tone look. Putting the pics here. I got someone to do a photoshop and I am in two minds now.

White doesnt suit it. Maybe silver, black (classic) or a medium metallic blue like the Swift would look good

The white top doesn't go well with it. Silver maybe. Stick with the stock one for some time and try out various colours. I can try out making a pic of a specific colour if you need.

Anyone got the LDi variant? Any pictures please of the Ldi variant?

Also any reduction in the waiting periods?

Which engine oil would be good for this vehicle? 5w30 is recommended. I want it to be a little quieter.

Honestly white looks horrible, maybe silver. If I were to pick grey I would keep it as it as! If you are keen on having the roof with different color I would suggest you to try checking out the carbon fiber finish in a darker shade than your car. That's my suggestion.

Congratulations for your new car.
In my opinion Granite Grey looks better from other colors (white been Indian favorite) . Don't go for dual torn it would loose it's appeal.

Took a longer test drive of the Brezza today, will focus just on the drive part of my observations, as rest of the details I am sure you guys already know.

1) The seating position is high, and the visibility of the bonnet does give it a big car feel from inside

2) The power delivery is like how the old Swifts used to be, but with rev happiness added to the mixture. After I think 2000 rpm, there is a shove in the seat sudden pull and its not linear like how the newer Swifts have.

3) It picks up speed very very rapidly. I was on a LBS Marg near R City taking a test drive and before I even realised, one shift to 3rd from 2nd and I was at 80. That's insane.

4) I purposely let it fly over some road undulations and most of them I could not feel, yes hard ones do filter in though but that is all right considering the hard ones were really big ones on which I would slow down to 5 kmph on my Swift.

5) The gearshifts felt a bit notchy, the car had run 260 km, strange. Never felt this in a 50 km run Creta.

6) Handling was superb. Nothing to complain at all.

7) This one looks good only in a few colors, and to check how it looks, I advice letting someone drive the Brezza and you follow it in another car to get a real feel of how the car looks. For example, In white, I really liked how she looked in the pictures, until I followed one on the highway and really did not like it at all from behind.

8) The Dual Tone ZDI + is too overpriced. Does not seem worth 11.64 On Road Mumbai, that's my opinion though. Interiors do not feel like a 11.5 lakh car.

9) Would I buy one ? Well, like they say in Gujarati " Modi Levi Pan Audi Levi", which when translated means 'Buy Late, But Buy and Audi". I ll wait some more to save up on the Creta is how I feel right now.

I suggest you to go with recommended 5W30 oil itself. Maruti recommends 5W40 synthetic oil for all 1.3 diesel cars except recent launches like brezza, S cross. Is it synthetic or mineral oil recommended for Brezza?

Thanks all

. I think the black glossy finish vinyl wrap should do the deed.

I wanted brand names recommendations in 5w30.

Our car was feeling really bumpy. Just went for a tire pressure check.

It was all over the place. One tyre 48 one 44 one 41 one 38. This despite me telling the dealer to check it before delivery. Now kept it at 32 for all tyres, one below 33 specified as it's hot these days. Runs much smoother.

Yes, tyres are over inflated when dispatched from factory. It is dealer's responsibility to correct it. But most of the times, dealers fail to check. So I always check tyre pressure and fill fuel at nearest petrol bunk after taking delivery.

Have you by any chance upsized your tyres?
And one more quick cross check, does the ZDi+ come with 17 inchers?
