Why is the Maruti Brezza so Popular?
Over the last few years, the Maruti Suzuki Brezza has maintained its position as the top seller in its segment. It gets dethroned once in a while by the Tata Nexon. However, in most parts, it remains as the top contender. Now, there are a few reasons behind this, and following are those reasons.
Value for Money
The Maruti Suzuki Brezza enjoys such a huge fan following in the country because of its value-for-money pricing. The SUV is priced between Rs 8.29 lakh and Rs 14.14 lakh. For the price, it gets plenty of features.
There is one interesting thing to note about the Brezza, and that is despite being only offered with petrol and CNG drivetrain options, it still has won the hearts of many Indians. This SUV does not get any fancy electric powertrain, a turbo petrol or even a diesel motor. But because of its value proposition and other benefits that it offers, it has become the best-selling sub-compact SUV.
Fuel-efficient Powertrains
Despite being only offered with a petrol motor, the car still offers a best-in-class claimed mileage of 18.76 kmpl. Notably, it became the first in its segment to offer CNG fuel options, boasting a fuel efficiency of 25.51 km/kg. It also has to be noted that the Brezza is the only sub-4m SUV to offer an automatic transmission with a CNG powerplant.
Muscular Road Presence
From the outside, the Brezza looks distinctly like an SUV. Its flat bonnet, boxy design language, prominent wheel arches, along with muscular bumper, and sleek headlamps add to its SUV stance. Unlike other SUVs of its segment, it looks a lot bigger and has a better road presence.
Feature-loaded
Maruti Suzuki has equipped the Brezza with a host of features. It gets features such as a 9-inch SmartPlay touchscreen infotainment system that supports Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, Navigation, and voice commands. Additional features include an auto-dimming inside rearview mirror, 360-degree camera, steering-mounted controls, automatic climate control, automatic headlights, and wipers.
It also gets electrically adjustable and foldable outside rearview mirrors, LED projector headlamps with LED Daytime Running Lamps, LED taillamps, push-button start/stop, cruise control, and more. This comprehensive feature set emphasizes convenience and assistance.
The Maruti Trust Factor
Maruti Suzuki’s strong trust factor is also one of the biggest contributing factors behind its success. Maruti Suzuki has earned a reputation for reliability and affordability. The brand has an extensive service network, and its competitively priced spare parts offer confidence and peace of mind to customers.
