Suzuki Vitara Brezza (Indonesia)
The Suzuki (Maruti) Vitara Brezza has
made its Indonesian debut at the 2016 GIIAS today. Indonesia is the first
market outside India to get the sub-4m SUV, which will be manufactured and
exported by Maruti Suzuki.
As the spec sheet confirms, the Vitara
Brezza is powered by the 1.3L DDiS turbodiesel engine, which produces 90 PS and
200 Nm of torque in the India-spec model. While a 5-speed manual gearbox is
standard, an automatic transmission is also available as an option. Even the
India-spec Maruti Vitara Brezza is not offered with an automatic gearbox.
Details on the automatic variant are
scarce. It’s likely to be the 1.3 DDiS + 5-speed AGS (AMT) combo that is only
offered in the Maruti Swift Dzire in India. So far, only a diesel variant of
the Vitara Brezza is confirmed for the Indonesian market, despite the
popularity of petrol-powered cars in the archipelago.
The Suzuki Vitara Brezza will join the
bigger but older Suzuki Grand Vitara in Suzuki’s SUV lineup, and rival compact
SUVs like the Ford EcoSport, Toyota Rush and Chevrolet Trax.
