The Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza recently went past the 7 lakh sales number. The Vitara Brezza is also the best-selling petrol-powered SUV in the country by a long mile, and has over the years cemented its place as the favourite in the segment.
But why does the Vitara Brezza continue to dominate the segment? Continue reading for more.
Effortless, Powerful, Reliable & Efficient 1.5-litre Petrol Engine
The Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza is best-in-segment SUV to be powered by a 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine. It is quite simply the biggest engine in its class and even features Progressive Smart-Hybrid technology. This four-cylinder petrol engine forms the base for a great driving experience as it is quite brilliant in many ways.
Effortless Driving
There’s no replacement for displacement, and this age old saying perfectly explains why the Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza feels so effortless while you are behind the wheel. The 1.5-litre naturally aspirated engine puts out 103 bhp at 6,000 rpm and 138 Nm at 4,400 rpm. These figures are great for whatever scenario you are driving in.
You add the slick shifting 5-speed manual gearbox or the smooth 4-speed automatic gearbox to the equation, and the effortlessness becomes even more apparent. Thanks to the Torque Assist feature, getting that extra acceleration exactly when you need it is easy work.
Be it cruising at triple-digit speeds on the highway or puttering around town, making quick overtakes on those curves in the hills or driving down a dual carriageway with your family and friends, the 1.5-litre petrol engine in the Maruti Suzuki Brezza makes everything feel effortless indeed.
Simply The Best In Fuel-Efficiency
A vehicle with great mileage figures are appreciated by everyone. It makes life easier and every drive lighter on the pocket. The Maruti Suzuki Brezza boasts the best fuel efficiency figures, courtesy of the much-appreciated 1.5-litre petrol engine.
Having the largest naturally-aspirated engine in the segment simply means the engine doesn’t have to be revved hard or stressed while performing overtaking maneuvers, or even while you make a quick lunge to get through that gap in urban conditions. Not having to accelerate really hard simply equates to higher fuel efficiency.
In addition, the Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza is the only SUV that comes equipped with Progressive Smart Hybrid Technology. This allows the Vitara Brezza to boast of features like Idle Start/Stop, Brake Energy Regeneration, and Torque Assist. These technologies make the driving experience on the Vitara Brezza much more enjoyable while making the SUV more fuel-efficient at the same time.
Speaking of efficiency, it is hard to miss the stellar fuel efficiency figures of the Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza. 17.03km/l* for the manual variant and 18.76km/l* for the automatic variant is more than one can ask of a petrol SUV in the segment.
Refined & Smooth
In a market that is quickly getting cluttered with three-cylinder and turbocharged engines, the Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza stands out with its four-cylinder, naturally aspirated engine. This in itself is a harbinger of refinement.
Then of course, the larger engine simply means, the engine doesn’t get stressed during every day driving cycles and this in turn leads to lower levels of noise, vibration and harshness. Simply put, the 1.5-litre petrol engine in the Vitara Brezza brings a smooth, refined and stress-free drive to the table.
Reliable, Dependable & Safe
Reliability is and always has been a byword for Maruti Suzuki’s engines, and the same goes for the 1.5-litre petrol engine in the Vitara Brezza. In addition, as aforementioned, the engine runs at lower stress levels and this in turn leads to an increase in engine life.
The 1,462cc engine displacement plays a major role in increasing engine life simply because a bigger engine has to work lesser to achieve the same speed. Also the bigger engine leads to better acceleration and hence more safety.
In Indian road conditions, the quicker you are able to make overtaking maneuvers, the safer it is. The large naturally-aspirated engine in the Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza allows you to do just that.
On the whole, there’s no taking away from the fact that the Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza is powered by a gem of an engine. The 1.5-litre naturally-aspirated, four-cylinder petrol engine is one of the many reasons for you to pick the Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza.
Bold Design & Styling
The Vitara Brezza has a bold and sporty character. It has become more muscular over time with the design lines on the bonnet and on the side profile clearly visible, thereby giving it an impactful road presence. Up front are powerful LED projector headlamps with dual-function LED DRLs.
It also features LED fog lamps, a bold four-slat grille, a chunkier scuff plate, and black cladding at the bottom. The compact SUV rides on dual-tone diamond-cut alloy wheels, unique LED tail lamps, etc.
At the rear end, the Vitara Brezza features a spoiler on top and a bold and muscular bumper at the bottom. The bumper features silver inserts while the tailgate features a thick chrome strip with the ‘Vitara Brezza’ embossing. This adds a premium touch to the rear end.

In addition to all of this, the Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza is available in a number of attractive colour options — both single-tone and dual-tone. These colour options make the Vitara Brezza stand out in a crowd of compact SUVs. The red & black dual-tone shade, however, stands out and makes the Vitara Brezza look even more attractive.
