Suzuki Maruti Brezza

 The Suzuki Brezza (known as Vitara Brezza for the first generation) is a subcompact crossover SUV from Suzuki and manufactured by Maruti Suzuki in India. The Brezza is the first Suzuki-branded car that was fully developed in India. The model was designed as a smaller alternative to the global market Vitara and targeted young audiences. It is only available for right-hand drive in emerging markets in Asia and Africa. The first-generation model was also marketed by Toyota as the Toyota Urban Cruiser since 2020.

First generation

The Vitara Brezza was first unveiled in India at the 13th Auto Expo in February 2016. It was previewed by the XA Alpha concept car that was showcased in 2012. The production model is built on the global market of Vitara's platform.

The Vitara Brezza is Suzuki's first model in the sub-4 meter subcompact crossover SUV segment in India, which fits the lower bracket of India's GST structure.

Initially, the Vitara Brezza was solely powered by a 1.3-liter Fiat-sourced D13A DDiS four-cylinder turbo-diesel engine which produced 66 kW (89 hp; 90 PS) and 200 N⋅m (150 lb-ft) of torque. The engine is mated to either a 5-speed manual or a 5-speed automated manual transmission. The fuel economy is stated at 24.29 km/L (68.6 mpg_‑imp; 57.1 mpg_‑US). The diesel-powered Vitara Brezza is also exported to India's neighboring countries, such as Nepal.

Facelift

The Vitara Brezza received its facelift in February 2020. The front bumper, skid plates, headlights, taillights, and wheels were redesigned. The sole turbo-diesel engine was replaced by a Bharat Stage 6 stage-compliant 1.5-litre K15B four-cylinder petrol engine. It produces 77 kW (103 hp; 105 PS) and 138 N⋅m (102 lb-ft) of torque. This engine is mated to either a 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic transmission, both equipped with SHVS (Smart Hybrid Vehicle by Suzuki) mild hybrid system. The fuel economy is stated at 17.03 km/L (48.1 mpg_‑imp; 40.1 mpg_‑US) for the manual transmission option and 18.76 km/L (53.0 mpg_‑imp; 44.1 mpg_‑US) for the automatic unit. The newer engine made the Vitara Brezza lose its GST advantage as the engine displacement exceeded the 1,200 cc limit.

Second generation (2022)

The second-generation Brezza was unveiled in India on 30 June 2022 without the "Vitara" moniker.

The vehicle retained the body shell platform of the previous generation with major revisions. It came with revised front and rear fascia, redesigned C-pillar, thicker body claddings, redesigned 16-inch alloy wheels, shark fin-type antenna, and electric sunroof. The dimensions are also nearly identical to the outgoing model, except for the 45 mm (1.8 in) height increase due to the shark fin antenna. On the interior, the dashboard received a layered design with a floating car audio display, along with redesigned steering wheel (with additional telescopic adjustment) and instrument cluster, wider rear bench seat, and addition of a wireless charging dock, interior ambient lighting, and rear AC vents. Electronic Stability Program (ESP) and Hill-Start Assist (HSA) are standards across the lineup, with six airbags also standard for the flagship ZXi+ grade.

The engine is replaced by the K15C Dualjet petrol unit with dual injectors, mated to either a 5-speed manual or a 6-speed automatic transmission option replacing the old 4-speed unit. The 12 V SHVS mild hybrid system is also carried over.
