| ![]() In such a feature loaded and pricey car, the steering doesn't return to center automatically!! This is so annoying and cumbersome. ![]() I wonder what is the reason behind such a basic omission? Cost Cutting ? ![]() Overall: pretty much the same driving experience with more features at a significantly higher on-road cost!! Last edited by PraNeel : 6th July 2022 at 19:18. |

| ![]() Excellent review Omkar and CrazyDriver. The competition has made Maruti pull up it's socks and update the equipment on offer. The 1.5 NA Petrol engine might not be the enthusiast's choice but will be adequate for most of the market and might be more reliable in the long run compared to the Turbo petrols of the competition. |

| ![]() Excellent detailed review, as expected from Team bhp. I find it simply amazing that comparable Ertiga versions are hardly a few thousands away. Many suspect that the tax break for sub 4m and below 1.2L petrol or 1.5L diesel was rallied by Maruti. It is a poetic justice that they themselves can't benefit from this strange taxation because of the 1.5L petrol engine, and have to compete in the upper segment cars of their own stable (Ertiga). I think that except space crunched cities like Mumbai where peole prefer best features in smaller cars, rather than this overpriced tax inefficient car, the mid variants of Hyryder, even Creta, Seltos etc are far better options. |

Excellent review, overall well packaged car with good exteriors, interiors and features. Should regain the top spot soon. Last edited by midazolam : 6th July 2022 at 20:00. | |

| ![]() The stance is surprisingly better than the earlier model. As mentioned in the review, the rear door & panel are reminiscent of the XUV 300. The touchscreen is any eyesore and not in sync with the dash but the design is an obvious improvement. Hope the quality of interiors are much better though it does not look like it. I do think that the first gen Swift had roomier front seats than the one on the Brezza. Will be interesting to know if the manufacturers have shaved off a few millimeters to make the interiors more roomier. |

Infractions: 0/1 (5) | ![]() Great review Omkar and Crazy Driver! ![]() The space management is better and very useful and find many takers. We will wait and see that how much numbers it would pull to sales chart. |

However, no, it doesn't set any benchmarks IMHO. In fact, I think all of the competition does quality which is at par, if not better. Nexon, XUV 3OO, Sonet, Venue etc. Irregular panels gaps were easy to spot (example - HUD), rough edges are seen at many places, plastics are hard and the textures don't do much justice, panels were coming off in hand (Gear level console area in our MT test car, no such issue with the AT), and there was a rattle heard from the passenger side door area on the AT test car. So while the interior is now good, it is certainly not the best or the benchmark IMHO. Not possible to answer in an objective fashion. Pricing depends on our perspectives- and while we may cry foul of the pricing - I believe Maruti will be able to sell at this price, and have the last laugh. Quote:

Driving experience is much better than earlier with the AT, but quite a step down on the MT. Quote:

BHPian ![]() | ![]() Maruti has played safe here. While that's not necessarily bad, I'm not happy about choice of engine, considering the main rivals have both petrol and diesel still on sale. Quote: | |

Well detailed review! Seems like Maruti Designers took some exterior design inspiration from the 2022 Nissan Rogue sold here in USA. Last edited by Eddy : 6th July 2022 at 21:45. Reason: Please do not quote a long post. Shorten it to quote only the relevant portion. Thanks |

| ![]() Great review guys! I don’t know about the statement “no replacement for displacement”, but there is surely no replacement for a thorough and diligent Team-bhp review such as the one here! Our reviews seem to be so unbiased and extremely neutral, also never going overboard with anything. Recent reviews by auto journalists of the Scorpio and even this New Brezza seemed so over the top! Always a welcome change to read through our very own reviews! Thanks again! Coming to the Brezza, I think we need to credit Suzuki for adding all the market sought after features along with a 6 speed TC, the new Brezza does not really have many downsides, except probably the rather boring 1.5 petrol engine, but that’s ok I guess, considering the target audience. However, I find the prices to be quite high, and I think it’s a big gamble. Maruti and Toyota are themselves launching the Vitara and the Hyryder respectively and even though a price overlap is inevitable, it should not become a case of ambitious pricing for all these 4 cars.

Infractions: 0/1 (5) | ![]() Wireless AA/ car play and TPMS is an obvious miss. Couldn't not convince myself to pay 17.5 lakh+ OTR for this car's top trim. I'm confused if I must go for one variant lesser i.e ZXI AT (missing 360 degree camera for which I was waiting for last 6 months ![]() Does anyone know if ZXI AT can be subscribed to suzuki connect later? |
