[@sush2142]

In 13 lakhs for ZXI model, we are not getting basic features like: 1. Front armrest, 2. Fog lamps, 3. Cooled glovebox - We are only getting 2 airbags (should have been 4 atleast) - Sunroof should be optional to bring price down Old brezza/urban cruiser gave all features (except airbags and sunroof) in 11.5 lakhs. Most other companies give these features at less price. New Brezza is very overpriced.

[@AYBHB]

Sunroof should always be optional in every car. I would prefer ventilated seats, electric parking brake, tpms, auto dimming irvm, etc instead of a sunroof.

[@udaykiran2211]

The upgrade is like - add frills for 50k and increase price by 3lakhs. This is insane

[@ducatimultistradav4850]

I badly miss the ddis dual jet diesel engines. It has crazy punch and fuel efficiency. I still remember my uncle had a Ritz vdi. My uncle had often highway runs. It has crazy torque and 17 - 18 kmpl of fuel efficiency. It was smooth on the highway, was rock solid at 120 and reliable (for a hatch during those times). Plz bring back your diesel engines, Maruti. Most of the units sold were also diesel during those times... I really loved the fiat - maruti diesel engines.

[@godwidmeprobably1]

Maruti is finally starting to understand they need to play the dollar game. They have all the bells and whistles (in the top variant), but guess they are too optimistic with the pricing. Lower models are not positioned well w.r.t price. 1. Cars have generally got expensive and repeat buyers would definitely not like the price of this one. For example, Ecosport second to top variant used to be 10.xx in 2018. The Zxi here is significantly pricier and not equal on features. 2. Even first time buyers will compare this car with competition, even that wouldn't go well with Brezza. It's only the 'as smooth as a snooker table' kind of service experience that works in favour for Brezza. But I guess since this is India, and it's coming from Maruti, this would be a decent seller. If they could sell Ignis, they can sell a cucumber on wheels.

[@manish007142]

Dude! Ignis is a great VFM car especially in the Sigma variant. It costs similar or less compared to a Tiago, Celerio, Santro and S-presso and offers better space, engine and features and it has 3 star safety rating, so not very far behind in safety aspect as well. Not talking about looks here as they are subjective.

[@roshanverghese5801]

If this had a diesel engine option it would have been a super hit, otherwise it still has a tough competition from other brands too expensive fr a petrol car

[@nikhilkaarthik714]

glad to still have the 2016 diesel top end variant of this car....great mileage and very reliable...thought of upgrading to the this one but nope

[@VarunSrinivas]

People are saying that the top end variants are overpriced. yes it is. but does it matter? Maruti has provided all the important features in the VXI variants. My eyes are on the VXI variant. 4 star Safety rating, refined engine, Maruti's service network are things to look out for. Nexon is still a strong product and the XM(s) variant is just a gem. From what I am seeing, people were asking for 6 airbags, sunroof etc and Maruti just gave it to the buyers. Buy it if you want.

[@manish007142]

Bro ! VXI is almost 1.5 lakh more then Lxi in cost and all it offers is a music system in addition to LXI. VXI is certainly not a VFM variant, go for LXI and get a good music system installed aftermarket, that'll cost you ₹15K-₹40K and you'll still save more than 1 lakh rupee. If Automatic is what you want then VXI remains the only base option.

[@sidsharma4771]

Nikhil is slaying this review...specially "you'll doubt even if the engine is giving it's 100%"...🤣🤣🤣 It was a disappointment to see suzuki dropped the performance of this engine...such a shame...

[@NikhilOnCars]

🙃

[@abhinavpa7688]

It's extremely overpriced considering it doesn't get a turbo petrol nor a diesel engine🤦‍♂️

[@yourharish]

A turbo petrol is good. But not the 1litre ones offered by the competition. Doesn't get any subsidy from gov now . So price has increased. 4star rated as well

[@nChauhan91]

a NA engine is much much better than a turbo in city traffic where you spend a lot of time in 1st gear

[@199Himanshus]

3 cylinder engine from competition 🤣

[@vishnusatheesh8885]

Even nexon is cheaper than it

[@Sachi-jb3bi]

Well, the entire competition in this segment is overpriced

[@MukeshMukesh-bz8pk]

Yes there is a huge difference in earlier n new generation beezza and that is its insane pricing 😬

[@sandeepjha3511]

I had taken test drive of Brezza. Trust me guys Apart from mileage nothing is good. A Hollow TIN Box feeling is very scary on the Road.

[@mattgt5000]

This time Maruti has hit all the dots in terms of reliability, space and driveability. I only wish the steering turned back on it's own, when taking a u turn. Overall, I am in love with this car. When it comes to pricing, it's a bit too much. But, you cannot expect a manufacturer to provide all the creature comforts, while maintaining the same prices.

[@manish007142]

Base LXI with aftermarket audio system will be the best value for money variant 😅

[@yashvardhansingh9779]

Hassle free car, maruti trust on engine/gear/ parts, easy servicing, were the reasons for me to go for this car

[@snehithsudhan9545]

with a 1.5lit petrol engine other manufacturers would given a bit of performance where maruti concentrates on mileage & kills the 1.5🤣...they should actually give a platina engine which will give an efficiency of 100kmpl🤷 so that no one could touch their top 1 list.

[@rahulthadani9701]

Turbo petrol fuel efficiency is very dynamic so it is better to stick with naturally aspirated petrol engine

[@amiyachourasiya]

Bottom line: ZXI plus AT is the only variant that really makes a difference, but it is way too overpriced. Would go for Sonet Htx diesel AT instead of this.

[@abhinavg5528]

The features may be on par on paper with the Hyundai venue and Kia seltos but still it's not upto that level but the price is wayy to much and probably it's a sign that the vitara will not be priced as well as one would expect

[@kallully]

it falls into the Honda City category now due to the pricing or atleast they are aspiring to be in the league

[@lakshaykataria]

Genuine question, what are its qualifications to be called an SUV? Is it just body style and maybe some hieght?

[@Suryagalaxy31]

SUV means it should have All wheel Drive with Greater ground clearance and go anywhere features ex Fortuner

[@atulaggarwalcs]

Only base model is value for money, every other model is overpriced... First time Maruti has got pricing wrong

[@chandrachurniyogi8394]

the modest 103 bhp in the new Brezza is due to the fact that anything more than 140 bhp might upset the dynamics of the vehicle since the Brezza was never designed for logging lap times . . .

[@sathishkumaar1418]

There is a difference of over 1.5 lakhs between vxi and zxi. While other brands offer a variant for every 50k Rupees, Maruti has very less options. They need to offer a vxi+ variant at 9,99,000 ex-showroom without sun roof, push button start/stop, electric rear defogger and some other gimmicky features. And even ZXI variant not having a front center armrest is really bad.

[@vzvish]

Atleast for top variant(s).. Lacks ventilated seats, IR+UV cut glass, Sun blinds

[@goodnefario1059]

It sure isn't the engine to be blamed, but the efficiency oriented tune that manages the engine is what is killing it

[@safeer610]

Bad Steering return action? Steering was better in diesel model?

[@techtotravel3119]

For the same price, I would prefer to buy a Nexon diesel.

[@rajeshdebbarma9862]

Booked sletos HTX... Diesel Manual.. Already 🤘

[@reju8433]

Excellent Review.Wish if Maruti Suzuki offered Ventilated Seats from XL6.

[@All-pervading]

According to me 360° camera , Head up display and paddle shifter those features are redundant .... instead of these they should have give front ventilated sits

[@Jz-fj5ki]

Ventilated seats are so important how can maruti omit such a needed convenience feature.

[@harishwaran]

Mahabalipuram ECR stretch looks superb in this video

[@Timelapsewithkrishna]

Is it just me or Do I find This brezza's interior very similar looking to the Nexon

[@shrikantkulkarni24_7]

Unfortunately, Alexa connectivity, head up display doesn't really helps in giving you under thigh support which is missing completely in both front and rear seats.

[@JaysunDigital]

Which is the best choice ?? Creta SX petrol Manual or Seltos HTX Petrol Manual

[@pravinmurthy]

Perfect review!.. The car's biggest sore point is it's boring 1.5ltr NA engine that is good as a commuter n nothing more.. Infact all of its competitors have an exciting Turbo Petrol that produce atleast 160Nm n more as against 138Nm of max torque on this lazy machine!.. Heck even the new Tata Punch rivaling Citroen C3 has a bomb of a Turbo Petrol with 190Nm of max torque!!.. 😛

[@glaxonkalarikkal9204]

Exactly. Only hardcore Maruti fans will get thrilled after seeing the power figures.

[@Indiewindie]

Great car and awesome review. Fun to see many auto experts in comments section saying it's overpriced and this n that. Guys don't buy them. Maruti is still no 1 car selling company in India. Loved new Brezza! ❤️

[@soniasaha10]

Which location you’re shooting this video ? The beaches looks so clean . Amazing ❤️

[@SPM_SS]

Never thought I would see the day when a Maruti would make a Hyundai/Kia look VFM.

[@pruthvibhojani3043]

Dear Maruti, Please bring back the Diesel in BS6 avatar. The underpowered petrol engine just doesn't work for a lot of us.

[@rameshvaidya4710]

You call it Sun Roof? or is it Moon Roof?

[@rimichoudhury833]

Budget 13-15 lac, automatic, mileage 18-20 kmpl, North East India hills (Mizoram), off road conditions, comfortable ride. once a month long drive of 600km + 1000 km/mnth, SUV, driving speed 40-60 kmph.. please suggest suitable car

[@DayumSonny]

They needed to bring the diesel back with the mild hybrid tech. That petrol engine is gutless.

[@mahendra_akshaj]

No matter It will be compact suv of 2022 again Brezza will break all sales record anyways Amazing upgrade

[@arnavmerchant6245]

In real life it will dude but not according to the keyboard warriors here . It's a great product by Maruti and just wait for the new SUV . Maruti's gonna rock the market with a storm in coming times. Ps. I worked from 2016 to 2019 for maruti and know what efforts maruti does for the customers.

[@jonjones18]

lol 🤣

[@machanisomu]

Ford has already launch Ecosport with all fully loaded features in top variants 3 years back with 6 air bags, ABS with EBD, TC, cruise control, Hill launch assist, ISO fix, sunroof, and more…….

[@kingcharles275]

They have priced the New BREZZA as if they have given the 1.6L (320Nm) DDiS engine which used to power old S-Cross and was simply amazing 🤩 Honestly, the entire segment of Sub 4 Metre soo called SUV (actually a crossover hatch) is over priced… so not using any brains… Maruti also jumped into that price segment… A 4.2m VW TAIGUN HIGHLINE at 15 to 16.5 lakh is a much much better option than this overpriced Brezza for 15 lakhs on road… You get much premium experience and a segment above car…

[@ARKV7191]

Surely there is a lack of power which has been the norm of Suzuki in India. Then there is also the smaller 16 inch alloys. 17 inches would have been better for a slightly stiffer ride and handling.

[@niranjankedambadi]

6:28 i wouldn't want to sit on that seat for sure!!!

[@vinaykm1]

Wen people start buying cars for entertainment and hearing songs this happens 😂 Engine where are you?😂

[@rejogp]

The touch screen looks too big and the positioning is also not right. I feel Its too high and blocking the view of the driver. Why don't maruti put a 32 inch TV itself there then :P

[@faiz8117]

Last year I purchased Ecosport diesel top model diesel for 12.8 lacs. If has got Turbo and the thud is so satisfying. If I compare it with Brezza I find the latter expensive by 2 lacs.

[@pritpalsingh5844]

Hi, Autocar India Channel & host Mr. Nikhil Bhatia, as always another well produced video. Maruti-Suzuki Brezza lacks on few aspects, I.e. should have atleast 18" alloy wheels, must have ventilated seats as Indian summer are merciless with bit stiffer cushioning and for any SUV be a small, compact or large it must have a Diesel power train. These were the reasons that last gen Maruti-Suzuki Vitara Brezza was a flop because of only petrol engine. Look at the fate of Audi, Skoda, VW and more. The success of KIA Motors India, Hyundai Motors India, TATA Motors, Mahindra,, Toyota is having multiple power train. I doubt new Brezza success, as of first gen as it had FAIT diesel engine. Thanks Autocar India for posting every story on India's auto space. Good Luck & Keep it Going.

[@anjanspace]

Brezza is my dream car for the next 5 years

[@pratikwadkar]

now that the new brezza is out, buying xl6 makes much more sense

[@gpsingin]

Overpriced is a understatement for this one

[@sayakroy2088]

Sir will Toyota also launch an Urban Cruiser of this new Maruti Suzuki Brezza model?

[@itijobcampusplacement]

मुझे बहुत खुशी हो रही है कि ये Car हमने अप्रैल से ही बनाना सुरु किया था मारुति सुजुकी प्लांट मानेसर में । जो अब मार्केट में लंच हो गई है।

[@himanshubalyan9557]

Maruti still using those old fashioned toggle for MID/Trip display is an eyesore.

[@arkabhowmik7832]

My goodness! Maruti is still using power window switches from the 2005 Swift! That is unacceptable at this point! 😩😩😩

[@littleanvi9990]

The pricing is too step... Competition prices are much better, also the lethargic steering and engine is no improvement over out going models

[@shreeramhegade9008]

You should have shown it's back for bit long, it's killing!!

[@tanujsoni3057]

Maruti engines in next generation - This 2L engine makes 80BHP and 100NM

[@raagaphotography]

very nice car .... try to post making videos and bloopers of your takings please.....

[@SaiSiddhanth]

The Engine is so sub par. How can maruti justify a 13L price tag for the top spec model against the flourishing mid size SUV market is beyond reason.

[@varunalpuria2790]

self centered steering is an issue with all maruti cars. dont understand, they never address the issue. I was wondering if Nikhil would point that out and he did.

[@pranavp386]

They fixed it in bs6 vehicles.

[@gautam__j]

Finally, an unbiased review of Brezza on web!

[@mrperfect971]

The price of the top model with automatic transmission is over 16 lakhs ( on-road Mumbai ) like seriously????? Who's gonna pay 16 lakhs for a "suzuki" badge. I do admit they've given alot of features but still it's the same "suzuki" where driving dynamics are not sorted.... The steering still feels dead at the centre..... Below average quality of materials. Now some people will say ... Brezza is never meant for enthusiast, it's meant for families but their are better far better options in this price point. I would've opted for Virtus highline manual it's price is around 15.20 lakhs on road Mumbai. It's better in almost every terms except those gimmicks like 360° camera, HUD etc. Or even Slavia's ambition variant is a better option. Even Honda City is a great family car at this price point with decent amount of features.

[@kapilgrover9302]

Maruti needs to seriously up the game on interior quality. The fit and finish, hard and rough plastics with rough edges are a big disappointment in the new Brezza.

[@Depanjan1979]

Wch one is a better choice for brezza automatic?

[@dhhavs]

Yet feel the renault kiger automatic is the best value for money.....its got everything!!

[@harshavardana3]

This new Brezza has got some impressive updates however I still prefer buying Kia Sonet cos it's got better quality finish and premium features while also being a whole 40k cheaper! (Or also maybe a Tata Nexon)

[@Bot_kumar]

If you are to go for a sensible decision go buy the scross before it is officially discontinued and available at a lower price than this

[@alokmehta8346]

Haha.. that smile at "Hard tech platform" 😄😄

[@nogoodhacker6944]

Awesome content! I'm planning to buy a skoda suv where i prefer a yet (though i have no option other than buying a used 4x4) than a kushaq? Can you make a video explaining a yeti versus kushaq and which is best in spite of one being extinct and one being new to market? Thnx in advance!

[@AdarshKumar-rr5uv]

Last line was so damm true..... 😜😜😜

[@hsnh.s.7418]

Very nice colour. Pls tell me the colours of this brezza

[@ganeshphadake1387]

Sir Is this flex engine ? Mr Nitin Gadkari is saying not to buy petrol car, We should now buy flex engines or electric vehicles. Can you please guide on this ? Is it a good time to buy petrol /diesel car, or we should wait for 1 year more

[@Hinokami_Kagura_Fire]

Nexon 1.2L turbo petrol giving 18 mileage on highway if you drive 90-100. premium interior and good stability on high speed. brezza is under powered car and feels the lag when driving with 5 members.

[@sudheeshv772]

The backlights are stolen! They are from Skoda Kushaq.

[@shivaguru4861]

everything is ok but the I can't digest the half baked streeing control it does not justify the price

[@gizmoknow-how2022]

That 1.5 K15B NA engine does an abysmal job in carrying the car, it's so damn boring that I would chose any diesel turbo over it anyday.

[@Therabbit2210]

Please tell about variants in long instead of high end at and mt variants. Coz maximum solds in brands are not top variants in this type of class.

[@ducatimultistradav4850]

Better buy Nexon or XUV 300

[@anuragkumar-fm7hc]

My word 360 degree cam..for it 😄😄😄👏👏👏👏

[@1824ajay]

This C-SUV looks good according to me!!But it lacks power big time and is too pricey compared to its rivals!!Especially a Maruti Suzuki car having so much price!!But i guess its for the people looking at practicality and ease of use and not for the ones who look for performance, power and torque!!Spending around 16.5 lakhs for automatic zxi+ in Bangalore for this C-SUV is a huge hole in the pocket!!

[@shaishav87]

Still xuv300 is better deal for driving enthusiastics!

[@nemesiszz]

Nice shoot location. Goa?

[@BipinBabu2024]

On Road Mumbai or Delhi price for amt transmision?

[@harshalshekharjha5669]

Does it have ABS with EBD?? Kahin pe bhi Officiallly mentioned nahi hai. Only iske hi brochure me nahi mentioned hai,Baad baki sabke Brochure me mentioned hai

[@sajo21]

Front Seats look thinner and also smaller(?) Than my Gen1 Swift. The headrest especially looks thin and malnourished. I think Maruti is providing thinner seats to give an illusion of space.

[@helppeople1321]

any new automatic brezza 2022 owners here, pls share how much kpl you are getting, am getting terrible right now (like under 10 in city outskirts where i get to touch 60 or 70 kmph often). Brought it from Khivraj, Chennai. They are giving me platitudes on driving tips.

[@raviachar1464]

The interior quality vs price is insane.

[@princevelpereira6339]

Maruti is asking Rs. 3,88,000/- for Brezza's AT gear box replacement, after a rat bit a cheaply made oil pipe and the fluid got drained. Even there was no indication of the fluid leak and the service person drove the vehicle from my home to workshop. Just 1 year with 2000 km run and car under warranty.

[@nikhileshbagwala593]

a video on new brezza vs venue vs nexon.

[@lifeisbeautiful9347]

What about the sound proof in the cabin?

[@velukuttyraje1418]

Excellent 😌

[@dipu94321]

if my prediction is correct, as has been for me with Maruti's gameplan, The Brezza is the fall guy they have made in order to amp up the Vitara. If it is indeed such a great car, why did they not shift it to Nexa despite being north of 10+ L ? exactly. The Vitara will take that slot and will offer much much more, like with the hyryder, to capture the Creta, Seltos market share with the Maruti service reliability they are known for. Brezza's top models are intentionally priced it that way cause they themselves know it will not sell, so they are trying to cannibalize the brezza with Vitara. Mark my words, Vitara upper mid variant will cost the same and will sell much more. Sly gameplan, but Maruti shooting themselves in the foot to propel themselves up. And add Turbo, Maruti. I love how my XL6 drives but the low hp and nm numbers rear their head when the car is fully loaded.

[@SussegadGoykar]

Maruti suzuki is not poor man's cars anymore now

[@goodnefario1059]

A larger naturally aspirated engine is much much MUCH better than a puny turbo charged engine. Fine you might not get the best acceleration given the turbo boost, but overheating is inevitable, especially during long spirited drives... That's the worst. Ask me how i know
