Maruti Suzuki launched the Vitara Brezza BS6 on February 24, 2020 in the Indian market. With the BS6 upgrade, the existing diesel variants were phased out and a new petrol engine was introduced for the first time with the sub-compact SUV. Now, we have learnt that Maruti Vitara Brezza BS6 has crossed 25,000 bookings in just over a couple of months time in the country. The Vitara Brezza is placed in the highly competitive sub 4-meter SUV segment with the likes of Hyundai Venue, Ford EcoSport, Tata Nexon and Mahindra XUV300 in India.
