Kenichi Ayukawa, MD of Maruti Suzuki, is expecting the sales of the Swift and Swift Dzire to come down, given that they're starting to age in the product lineup. Yet, the demand for the Swift siblings are strong, and volumes that are lost to Maruti's newest products could catch up to satisfactory levels in some time, he said.

Prices for the Vitara Brezza were announced on March 8, 2016, which ranges between INR 6.99 Lakhs - 9.68 Lakhs. The company has already received 2,600 bookings for the sub-4m SUV.
