Maruti Suzuki has launched the Vitara Brezza in six different variants namely LDi, LDi (O), VDi, VDi (O), ZDi and ZDi+. Powering the compact SUV is the trusted 1.3-litre DDiS 200 engine which belts out 90PS of max power and 200Nm of peak torque which is coupled to the 5-speed manual transmission. Currently the Vitara Brezza comes powered with only a diesel motor for India. However, Maruti Suzuki will also be manufacturing petrol variants of the Vitara Brezza, but are presently restricted to exports only.

The surprising number of booking received in such a short span could possibly prove the Vitara Brezza to be a lucrative product for the Manesar-based manufacturer. Unveiled for the first time at the 2016 Auto Expo, the Vitara Brezza has been closely watched by automotive journo and aspiring buyers across the nation. Deliveries for the Vitara Brezza will commence on March 21.
