Maruti is also expected to being some crisp design to the compact SUV and the first sketch of Vitara Brezza points to a stylish vehicle that is confident and energetic, designed to especially appeal the urban customer.
"Several elements in the exterior design impart a distinct character to the Brezza: a balanced proportion supported by square wheel arches, short overhangs, high ground clearance and upright hood gives the vehicle a confident stance. The raising belt and rocker lines, and the roofline that slopes down gently towards the rear give the vehicle a dynamic posture," the company said in a media release.
