It is like riding a butter! So smooth and the colors are so bright. My grand kids love going for rides on this. It is very sturdy and safe.

Sweet Ride

YObykes Edge is one of the most affordable electric scooters. Build quality and paint finish are top class.

Affordable EV Option

Honda NX200 looks like an adventure bike but suspension travel is limited for serious off-roading. Great for city roads and highway commutes.

Moderate Offroad Capability

Nice performance and nice futuristic bike like amazing and her perfect bike ride with a beautiful view.

Perfect Ride with Stunning Looks

Fantastic and lovely Hero Electric Cycle — perfect for maintaining both health and wealth! It has a very nice design and model, well-crafted by Hero Company. All the best to Hero for this excellent cycle

Perfect to me

It has the best styling, a good engine, and excellent ground clearance, a very good seat design for off-roading, and the company's claimed mileage will be satisfactory.

Better option for all roads

Flawless blending of aggressive V6 performance dynamics and high class premium styling. Audi S5 Sportback is an unparalleled masterpiece.

King of sportbacks

Overall, I am satisfied with the vehicle. It offers great value for money, and I recommend it to my friends who are looking for a family car.”

Combination of look and performance

mini cooper delivers great handling and cornering stability, but suspension setup is bone jarring on bad roads. circular touchscreen interface looks cool but navigating options while driving is distracting. mileage in traffic is disappointing at 9.5 kmpl.

Firm Ride Setup

BMW M340i has crazy engine power and acceleration. But the ride quality is very stiff for daily family use on bad bumpy city roads. Low ground clearance requires extreme care on speed breakers.

Stiff but Amazing car

Good Design with more features that make it attractive . it also has good mileage and a good safety rating, which makes mind-blowing.

Good design with more features makes it good to go

I have been driving the Scorpio Classic for some time now, and my experience has been very satisfying. Its bold and muscular design gives it a commanding road presence, and the SUV continues to stand out with its timeless styling. The cabin is spacious, offering comfortable seating for both city commutes and long highway journeys.

Performance is one of its biggest strengths. The diesel engine delivers strong power and excellent low-end torque, making overtaking and highway cruising effortless. The suspension handles rough roads with ease, which is especially beneficial on Indian roads.

The Maruti Suzuki Brezza is positioned within the sub-four metre SUV segment and is pitted against rivals such as the <a href="https://auto.hindustantimes.com/new-cars/mahindra/xuv-3xo">Mahindra XUV 3XO</a>, <a href="https://auto.hindustantimes.com/new-cars/hyundai/venue">Hyundai Venue</a>, <a href="https://auto.hindustantimes.com/new-cars/kia/sonet">Kia Sonet</a>, <a href="https://auto.hindustantimes.com/new-cars/tata/punch-cng">Tata Punch CNG</a>, and the <a href="https://auto.hindustantimes.com/new-cars/marutisuzuki/fronx">Maruti Suzuki Fronx</a>.

Once upon a time, <a target="_blank" href="https://auto.hindustantimes.com/new-cars/marutisuzuki">Maruti Suzuki</a> had this bright idea of developing and offering a sub-four-meter vehicle which had pronounced visual SUV traits. Showcased at the bi-annual Auto Expo, the product became an instant hit and despite the fact that Vitara <a target="_blank" href="https://auto.hindustantimes.com/new-cars/marutisuzuki/brezza">Brezza</a> at the time was only offered with a diesel engine option, the reception to it was phenomenal. Vitara Brezza is often credited as the sub-compact SUV that really ignited the barrage of newer entrants into the Indian car market, most notably <a target="_blank" href="https://auto.hindustantimes.com/new-cars/tata">Tata</a> <a target="_blank" href="https://auto.hindustantimes.com/new-cars/tata/nexon">Nexon</a> in 2017, Hyundai <a target="_blank" href="https://auto.hindustantimes.com/new-cars/hyundai/venue">Venue</a> in 2019 and Kia <a target="_blank" href="https://auto.hindustantimes.com/new-cars/kia/sonet">Sonet</a> in 2020. Time though is kind to no one and while Maruti Suzuki has sold over seven lakh units of Vitara Brezza, the absolute dominance has taken a hit.

To consolidate on its numbers and beat back challenge from newer rivals, Maruti Suzuki has now launched the updated Brezza minus the ‘Vitara’ name and complete with massive visual updates to the body and significant number of feature additions on the inside. Mechanically, nothing much has changed post the 2020 transplant to the 1.5-litre petrol motor although the auto transmission unit has been upgraded.

So does the once ageing veteran on the field now have enough firepower in the third innings of the match to lash out at and against rivals? With over 46,000 bookings and counting, it is a sure-footed start but much would depend on its real world strengths than on past laurels.

Here's the full first-drive review of the 2022 Maruti Suzuki Brezza:

<h2>Maruti Suzuki Brezza exterior highlights:</h2>The Vitara Brezza had started looking rather jaded in the ever-evolving segment of sub-compact SUVs. Part of the reason for this may fall on just how common the vehicle model is on Indian roads. The other part is the influx of newer, younger looking vehicles, some more stylish than others.

The latest Brezza though does a darn good job of playing the style game though and in its latest version, looks much younger than before. The visual updates are mostly cosmetic but the skillful touch with which the changes have been made give the model a simpler and cleaner - and yet appealing - look from all sides.

While the erstwhile Vitara Brezza looked rather sober, the newest Brezza clearly has the the stylized curves assimilated well with the overall SUV-ish profile of the body. Whether it is the flowing DRLs on the twin-pod projector head light units or the single-chunk chrome bar or the grille in gunmetal finish, the face of the model is now sportier than ever before.

From the side, Brezza goes the extra distance in underlining its SUV-ish credentials with a large black cladding around the wheel arches flowing prominently across the bottom of the two doors. Depending on personal preferences, this may appear machismo-like or an exercise in excess. But the 16-inch dual-tone alloy wheels sure looks really appealing and could corner attention all on their own.

But it is the rear that has been the best done in terms of design and looks the most contemporary. The solid chrome badge with the ‘Brezza’ embossing on the boot door has been done away with for a cleaner profile with the same model name lettering now as individual characters on top of the registration plate. The LED tail light design has also been completely changed and is now sleeker than ever before.

Overall, the newest Brezza is the best-designed model ever from Maruti Suzuki, a company that hasn't always had the best-looking models and has previously relied on appearances gaining acceptance through mass adoption and through passage of time. Remember <a target="_blank" href="https://auto.hindustantimes.com/new-cars/marutisuzuki/swift">Swift</a> when it was first launched, or the Ritz? The 2022 Brezza though hits the nail on the head with its visual appeal echoing its fresher intent.

<h2>Maruti Suzuki Brezza cabin highlights:</h2>Open the doors and the cabin has much new to offer as well but unlike the exterior profile, not every update here is quite radical or even revolutionary. First things first, the Brezza is now the first car from the Maruti Suzuki stable to offer an electric sunroof. Customer preference for this feature addition has finally, phew, made Maruti take the dive although personally, I still don't see much point of a glass roof in Indian conditions.

Sticking with what's new, there's now ambient lighting inside the Brezza, 360-degree camera, a nine-inch main infotainment display that the company calls SmartPlay Pro+, a pop-out Head-Up Display, wireless phone charging, support for Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, and support for over 40 features via Suzuki SmartConnect mobile application. Almost all of these features were also seen on the updated <a target="_blank" href="https://auto.hindustantimes.com/new-cars/marutisuzuki/baleno">Baleno</a> model launched earlier this year and now makes the Brezza vehemently competitive against its rivals, some of whom have always had the edge in terms of features offered. Do note though that like with all other car models, almost every single feature mentioned above is available only in the top-of-the-line variant.

But apart from the technology and features incorporated, the Brezza now also offers some cosmetic updates in the cabin in the form of layered dashboard with silver accents, more silver accents on the doors and more foam cushioning on the fabric seats. Space is still quite decent inside with rear passengers getting adequate amount of leg room, knee and shoulder room. There are rear AC vents and a charging point for convenience. Additionally, the top-end variants offer 60:40 rear-seat folding for customized cargo space. The boot as is still is at 328 litres, marginally less than the 350 litres inside <a target="_blank" href="https://auto.hindustantimes.com/new-cars/hyundai">Hyundai</a> Venue.

One rather irritating encounter for us was how we had to slam the boot door shut every time we opened it for it to lock properly. This may be an issue on just our test model but we aren't entirely sure. Either way, this deserved a mention as it can be quite irritating to think the boot is shut and then for the door ajar alarm to sound once one gets the Brezza going.

But how well does the new Brezza get going?

<h2>Maruti Suzuki Brezza drive highlights:</h2>Mechanically, not much has changed inside the new Brezza with Maruti coming out with a re-tuned 1.5-litre K-Series petrol motor which now has a mild-hybrid technology to marginally increase fuel efficiency figures.

The five-speed manual transmission unit has been carried forward but the four-speed automatic unit gets replaced by a six-speed torque convertor AT set up. If you opt for the manual transmission, there's not much new to look forward to and the Brezza retains its strong drive traits for the most parts. The gear box isn't the slickest but is still satiating enough to cater to most drive styles, Throttle inputs get the required response from the motor under the hood and the Brezza continues to build power and momentum in a mature fashion. Over the 3,000 RPM mark, there is a sense of urgency and the car assumes a more spirited stance. What this effectively means is that while Brezza continues to remain composed within city limits, it can be a responsive companion on highways with only marginal planning needed to make frequent overtaking moves.

The suspension too remains a good ally with the Brezza typically unafraid to be thrown into, over and around road aberrations. High-speed cornering still effects some degree of body roll but the relatively well-weighted steering wheel is par for the course.

But while the manual gearbox compliments the engine well and makes for a pleasant or excitable drive depending on your mood rather than its own capability, the six-speed AT is just about satisfactory. It isn't anywhere close to as fluid as the DCT on the Venue or as mature as a CVT but is still a few steps ahead of the previous set up that was being offered. One can of course make use of the paddle shifters to slot the required number but even then, the Brezza AT is just about par for the course.

If you are someone who would be driving the car within city limits for most parts, there is no denouncing the convenience of having an auto gearbox. But for those who have experienced a DCT or CVT on highways would surely come out rather unimpressed from the auto unit in the Brezza.

<h2>Maruti Suzuki Brezza verdict:</h2>Maruti Suzuki has recognized the fact that the crown over Brezza's head may remain intact but may not have gleamed as much as it did back in yesteryears. The competition is massively stiff and most rivals are quite worthy in their own right. What is heartening to see though is that Maruti has not just relied on Brezza's strengths in the latest update but catered to evolved expectations in the segment as well. In this sense alone, the visual updates and feature additions are the two biggest strengths of 2022 Brezza.

The tweaked petrol motor too is still rather familiar and has a no-fuss nature about it. But it loses out on tax benefits that 1.2-litre engines or below attract which means the overall price structure of the Brezza is on the higher side. The top-variant is at ₹13.80 lakh (ex showroom) which makes it pricier than even the top-end diesel variants of Tata Nexon, Hyundai Venue and <a target="_blank" href="https://auto.hindustantimes.com/new-cars/kia">Kia</a> Sonet. From playing the pricing game to now playing the feature game, Maruti has come a fair distance and is underlining the value proposition offered with the variant-wise pricing structure. How will the market respond? Time will tell.
