The Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza was unveiled at Auto Expo 2016. Back then the SUV was exclusively available with a diesel drivetrain, but this time at the Auto Expo 2020, Maruti Suzuki unveiled the Vitara Brezza in the petrol guise. This strengthens the case of the Vitara Brezza with respect to its rivals.

The Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza petrol debuts in the space where we already see the petrol variants of the Tata Nexon, Mahindra XUV300, Hyundai Venue and the Ford Ecosport. Let us find out how the compact SUV fares against its rivals when compared on paper.

On the flip side, the Hyundai Venue gets a 1.2-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine that is available in the lower trims.

The Mahindra XUV300 is the only compact SUV in the comparo that misses out on the convenience of the automatic. The XUV300, Venue and the Nexon get a 6-speed manual gearbox as standard while the Ecosport and the Vitara Brezza get a 5-speed gearbox as standard. The automatic variant of the Venue gets a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission while the Nexon gets an AMT (Automated Manual Transmission).
