It is with some sadness that the time has come to say goodbye to the Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza, but there’s hope, as this is the new Maruti Suzuki Brezza. There’s quite a lot that has changed for Maruti Suzuki’s compact SUV — from the engine and gearbox to the design, features, and price points — but the stiff (and secure) Suzuki Global C chassis remains. On paper, the 2022 Brezza looks like another topper on the sales charts, despite this top-spec version costing ₹ 2.5 lakh more than its predecessor, but what I’m trying to determine is if it has the same sort of class-redefining status that made the original Vitara Brezza a sales sensation.
What most people liked about the older compact SUV was its boxy and rugged design. Maruti Suzuki has chosen to go with a more contemporary and rounded look for the new Brezza, which can be a little hit and miss. The rear, with its new curvy tailgate and new wraparound, LED tail lights, does look attractive, and quite butch, too, thanks to the silver and black finish on the rear bumper. From the sides, there’s enough of its predecessor’s silhouette to retain that boxy appeal, and the new 16-inch dual-tone alloys help add a dose of sportiness to that appeal.
