The Vitara Brezza will rival the likes of the Mahindra TUV300 and the Ford EcoSport when launched. It will be based on a modified version of the Swift's platform, though several parts, components and engines will be shared with the hatchback.

To recap, the Vitara Brezza will be powered by the 1.3-liter DDiS diesel engine (Fiat-developed engine) or the 1.2-liter K-Series petrol engine, which could get the option of a CVT in addition to a 5-speed manual gearbox.

Other features are expected to include reverse parking sensors and parking camera, a touchscreen SmartPlay entertainment system, keyless entry and push button start, multifunction steering wheel and automatic climate control.
