Maruti Vitara Brezza off-roader - Rendering

15/05/2017 - 12:59 Maruti Vitara Brezza, Maruti Suzuki Aravind Jayachandran

Rendered model features a whole range of off-roading equipment.

Our newest imaginative rendering as part of a series based on Marutis is a Maruti Vitara Brezza tuned to tackle rough terrain and drive on uncharted territory.

The rendered model features a whole range of off-road-ready equipment, such as a metal bullbar, metal front bumper and skid plate with high approach angle, an integrated winch, extra pair of headlamps, chunky off-road-ready tires, custom suspension for higher ground clearance and better articulation, a roof box for more storage. If the model sold here had a 4x4 system, off-road enthusiasts would consider such an upgrade, given that there is a thriving 4x4 off-road culture in India.

The regular version is the best selling UV in India, with Maruti dispatching 10,653 units of the Vitara Brezza last month alone. Maruti has already sold over 120,000 units of the Vitara Brezza since market launch in March 2016, while overall bookings have crossed well over 200,000 units. Currently, it is priced at INR 7.26 Lakhs – 9.92 Lakhs (ex-showroom Delhi).

It is available only in the diesel manual variant, which is powered by a 1.3L DDiS 200 motor paired with a 5-speed manual gearbox, producing 90 PS and 200 Nm of peak torque. It is capable of averaging a fuel economy of 24.3 km/L.

While a Maruti Vitara Brezza petrol and even a Maruti Vitara Brezza Automatic are in the works, don't expect Maruti to give it an off-road variant.
