| ![]() Seems Maruti Suzuki placed orders for millions of window switches in advance so they are giving these same cheap looking switches in their most premium car. No offense to either owners but I ain't paying 15lkh ₹+ for a car which has interiors worse than a i10 with Alto's window switches. High time Maruti treats it's premium car as actually premium. The interiors fit and finish leaves a lot to be desired, that brown shade looks tacky, could have chosen a better shade. And with the pricing more than Sonet / Venue, I wonder who will pick this up ! |

| ![]() After this so called new family bonding of Maruti Suzuki & Toyota, aren't things getting more confusing ? apart from the naming nomenclature look at the sharing of parts bin For ex : that heads up display, steering wheel design, door padding and all, i mean with the interior pictures of Toyota Hyryder (damn the prefix :urban cruiser )still fresh in mind its annoying to note that this new found partnership is heavily engaged in sharing same parts across the different segment models, where is the exclusivity ? these brands wants us to bask in their past glory while offering us average quality standards in the name of cost cutting & product feasibility, icing on the cake is prices are commanding a premium for no reason & are heading northwards by each passing month. |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() Wrong recipe: basically Maruti has hiked Brezza's price prohibitively for just a few features and a slightly premium interior more with absolutely no change in driving experience and with a petrol only "insipid" motor...going to Honda City Territory. Maruti is learning the wrong lessons from Toyota on pricing it's products (we all know what happened to the Yaris), this looks like how the Govt hikes taxes once in 5 years "prohibitively" without any value addition. |

| ![]() Two clarifications please : 1. I understand that the new Brezza do not come with uv cut glasses. True? 2. Do the headlight low beam remain lit while high beam is switched on ? In my opinion, uv cut glasses and tpms would have been a lot more useful than sunroof and hud. I am yet to meet someone who opened sunroof, other than to demonstrate it to friends during the initial days of ownership. Last edited by 9216 : 7th July 2022 at 13:17. |

| ![]() Thank you for the very comprehensive review. I am so disappointed to know of the buzzy nature of the engine at highway speeds. 120kmph at 3000rpm is not great for an 1.5liter engine |

| ![]() Excellent Review Omkar and Crazy Driver!! The Brezza sure looks more mature and well rounded than the previous version. For someone who wants Maruti's peace of mind ownership, better fuel efficiency, excellent resale value, and 4 STAR GNCAP Rating (hoping this version will score the same as the outgoing Vitara Brezza) - this will suit the best. Additionally, it now comes with all the standard bells and whistles (Sunroof, ESP, HUD etc). Granted the prices are on the higher side, but its a seller's market after all. Maruti is sure taking a gamble. If it succeeds, it does not bore well for common man! |

| ![]() Just a question to everyone who is criticizing the pricing of the new Brezza. ![]() How would you have reacted had the car been longer by 250 mm with an additional 100 liters boot? |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() Tail lamps on the new Brezza bears quite the resemblance to the Nissan Pathfinder! Strange coincidence. ![]() On hindsight, if Suzuki had moved the number plate recess to the bumper, like in the Nissan Pathfinder too, the design could have been much cleaner.

The most important is the 4 star rating that the earlier version received, with this one expected to be close to 5 stars with additional safety features added. So many would prefer this over the Korean Tin cans which barely managed a 3 star rating and had unstable structure. Last edited by midazolam : 7th July 2022 at 17:10. | |

I don't think everyone is criticizing prices of all the variants. As CrazyDriver mentioned, it is the automatic variant pricing that looks way off, and i agree too. |

| ![]() Crisp review as always guys! Quote:
All said and done, I feel Maruti have made a carefully calculated move in terms of where they wanted to add value w.r.t. features and what they can get away with w.r.t. pricing and choice of drivetrain etc. All that remains to be seen is the verdict of the Janta. On a side note - that asymmetrical touchscreen housing is just pushing my OCD into hyperdrive ![]() ![]() | |

Infractions: 0/1 (5) | ![]() This article says that a part of the reason for increase in price is usage of imported High strength and ultra High strength steel to improve crash test score ( as confirmed by Maruti executive CV Raman) https://theprint-in.cdn.ampproject.o...h%2F1025741%2F |

| ![]() I agree to the most comments above. It is like an old wine in old bottle. Maruti lost an opportunity to redesign it to make a contemporary looking car like what Mahindra did to Scorpio. Rear look good compared to old design but for the front they have retained same ugly looking grille. The price Maruti is asking opens other options for e.g. one can get proven, more accomplished, bigger diesel Creta in that price range. |
