GREATER NOIDA : Four years after setting the compact SUV segment in India on fire, Maruti Suzuki on Thursday launched the much-awaited petrol version of Vitara Brezza at Auto Expo 2020. The compact SUV now also sports several design changes on the outside to distinguish it from the outgoing model.

First showcased at Auto Expo 2016, the Vitara Brezza has been a massive success story for Maruti Suzuki but recent times have seen rivals upping their respective game to deal a dent to the car. Now, the country's largest car maker is trying to win back lost ground by offering a BS 6-compliant petrol engine that has been a long-standing demand.

It is mated to a five-speed manual and a four-speed AGS transmission. The compact SUV has peak power of 103 bhp and peak torque of 138 Nm. The new Brezza claims to have better mileage, more power and will be offered with BS 6-compliant engines which means lesser emissions.
