maruti suzuki vitara brezza review:-
The 2020 Maruti Vitara Brezza has its basics in place. A smooth petrol engine, a spacious cabin, and a very comfortable ride quality. Compared to the diesel, you’d appreciate not just the refinement of the motor, but also the smooth nature of the automatic compared to the AMT. But the petrol engine takes the versatile Brezza and pushes it into a city-centric corner. For those wanting to run wild and free on the highway, the giggle-inducing torque kick and the pocket-friendly efficiency of the diesel will definitely be missed.
In profile, the obvious difference is the new design for the 16-inch alloy wheels. Take the updated LED tail lamps out of the equation and you’d struggle (hard) to tell the updated Brezza apart from the older one from the rear. Pick the automatic variant and you will see a hybrid badge on the boot.
Inside the cabin, the Brezza remains unchanged, save for new fabric upholstery. That’s to say the key pillars of space, quality and design have been carried on as is.
Compared to free-standing touchscreens and knurled knobs on rivals, the Maruti Vitara Brezza’s dash looks a bit utilitarian and almost unimaginative in terms of design. You can’t fault it for practicality, though. There’s plenty of space shared between the twin gloveboxes, large door bins (1-litre bottles are an easy fit!) and the cup holders near the handbrake area. All immensely useful, and well within reach.
Set in a likeably high position as before, the front seats are cushioned well, and supportive.You get to adjust the height of the seat too, along with tilt adjustment for the steering wheel.The backseat is a familiar place to be. It continues to function well as a family car with ample knee room and headroom for rear-seat occupants. Given the width, it’s among the few small SUVs that can fit three abreast if needed
Its 328-litre boot isn’t setting benchmarks. On paper, it’s lower than what the EcoSport, Venue or even the Nexon offer. To make up for it, the Brezza offers a 60:40 split rear bench in the top-spec Z and Z+ variants.
For the office commute, school and grocery runs, the Brezza impresses thoroughly. You’d never want more power. Similarly, if your idea of road trips involve you sitting in the middle lane comfortably between 80-120kmph, you’ll love this engine. It’s at absolute ease when it’s settled into a cruise. However, should you want to pull away from traffic or overtake, you will have to downshift to fourth (or wait a lot).
The Brezza automatic shows similar traits. It too prefers to be within the confines of the city rather than be out exploring. The 4-speed automatic is old enough to be finishing school, but it isn’t as undesirable as you’d think. For city usage, you’d have no complaints with the gearbox. It’s smooth, going up and down the gears without letting you know. It will stick to second gear for the most part of the commute, and that’s bound to take a toll on the efficiency. To counter this, Maruti Suzuki has called upon the SHVS mild-hybrid tech. It helps save some fuel when you’re stuck in jams or at a red light by automatically turning the car off. You don’t necessarily have to shift to neutral for the car to switch off, it does so when the car is stationary in Drive (D) too. Release the brake, or shift back to D and the motor starts up instantly.
Now, allow us to geek out a bit. Since the gearbox has just four ratios to play with, each has been given a wide spread of speeds it can tackle. This means that when you slam on the accelerator pedal at 60kmph-80kmph, the gearbox insists on pulling in third gear instead of downshifting to second for acceleration. Similarly when you’d step on it at triple digit speeds, acceleration can be woefully slow. Thus, overtakes require a little bit of planning. This nature of the gearbox haunts it on inclines too, where it seems a bit puzzled and prefers pulling in a higher gear versus downshifting. Also, do note that there’s no dedicated Sports or Manual mode, or even paddle shifters. You can force it to stay in lower gears by using the L, 2 or O/D off (prevents the gearbox from engaging fourth) modes, though.
The steering is just the right weight at low speeds and on highways it weighs up enough. It’s expectedly quick and direct too, letting you have some fun around the corners. While you’ll know exactly what the front wheels are up to, it does feel a bit numb.
