Vertical and upright stance, high ground clearance lend the Brezza its SUV credentials.

Dashboard design is devoid of design flair,is functional and build quality is average.

The Vitara Brezza has been a stunning success for Maruti and it's not hard to understand why. It's a brilliantly conceived product that best suits the tastes of a typical Indian car buyer and is undoubtedly impressive in many areas. However, there are a few things we would have liked better. The design, for instance, lacks flair and it's only the top-end cars with dual-tone paint schemes that liven things up. The Brezza is also not particularly exciting to drive and the build isn't rock solid either with Maruti's built-to-a-cost approach quite evident in many places. However, you can't miss the Maruti strengths either. The Brezza is practical, efficient, value for money and will, no doubt, be reliable too. It may lack the character of some of its rivals but for the price, the Brezza's well-balanced attributes makes this car a one-size-fits-all option that's hard to beat.
