The Maruti Vitara Brezza is currently the best-selling UV in the Indian market. After seeing the huge success of the SUV in India, Suzuki Indomobil Motor is evaluating the Vitara Brezza for the local market.
Following the Maruti Vitara Brezza’s world premiere at Auto Expo 2016, Suzuki Indomobil Motor showcased the Suzuki Vitara Brezza at GIIAS 2016. That was over a year ago, and the company is still studying the launch, says a fresh report from Kompas. The development was confirmed by R. Uchiki, GM (Strategic Planning Department), Suzuki Indomobil Motor. A problem is that the Suzuki Vitara could cannibalise the Suzuki S-Cross’ sales, as both models are technically in the B-segment.
The Suzuki S-Cross looks a proper urban crossover and is well-equipped. The Suzuki Vitara Brezza has a tough SUV-like design. It is not only smaller, but also more economical due to the more basic equipment. The sub-compact SUV is 3,995 mm long, 1,790 mm wide and 1,640 mm tall. It has a 2,500 mm wheelbase and a 198 mm ground clearance.

The Suzuki Vitara Brezza is powered by the 1.3-litre DDiS 200 diesel engine that produces 90 PS at 4,000 rpm and 200 Nm of torque at 1,750 rpm. Unfortunately, something that would matter in Indonesia, a petrol engine, is unavailable. A petrol engine for the Vitara Brezza is in the works, and maybe that would make the Vitara Brezza a more suitable product for Indonesia. For now, no launch timeline is available.
