Maruti Suzuki has given the Vitara Brezza a new name and a new look. We tell you all that has changed and also how it is to drive

Maruti Suzuki has been steadily launching refreshed versions of all their cars in the recent past. First, it was the Baleno, and then came the XL6. Now it is time for the Vitara Brezza to arrive in an all-new avatar. The new one though has dropped the ‘Vitara’ moniker and instead will be referred to as the Maruti Suzuki Brezza. This is the same treatment the company gave the Swift Dzire where the company dropped the ‘Swift’ tag and renamed it the Dzire. Now back to the Maruti Suzuki Brezza.

The erstwhile Vitara Brezza was always a handsome-looking car and its successor, the Brezza has gotten even better. The front end is dominated by the LED projector headlamps which come complete with snazzy LED DRLs. The grille has gotten bolder too and thanks to the claddings, the front bumper too, looks a lot more aggressive. In profile, one can spot the new 16-in alloy wheels and clear to the eye is also the two-tone treatment. It will also be apt to mention here that the new Brezza is identical to the erstwhile version as far as most dimensions are concerned. This is because the new Brezza measures 1,685mm in height and the minor change has happened thanks to the new shark fin antenna on the roof. The length at 3,995mm and width at 1,790mm remain unchanged. The rear end of the car looks as dynamic as the front thanks to the new LED tail lights and the scuff plates on the rear bumper. Overall then the Brezza is a handsome-looking SUV.
