Shoeb R Kalania has created a rendering of the Maruti Vitara Brezza 5-dr Coupe, with cues from a modern Range Rover.

The sloping roof will eat up headroom for rear occupants, but if we can recall our time with the Vitara Brezza, there was plenty of headroom even for a 6 footer with a hat that setting the roof to slope a little wouldn’t make for an uncomfortable experience at the back. The Vitara Brezza rendered has also been lowered and rides on larger rims inspired by that of the new Dzire.

The Vitara Brezza’s overwhelming success in the market will have the younger Maruti product planners scrambling for SUV ideas that are niche, if not in this generation, at least in the next. However, it’s likely that a rugged successor to the Gypsy will have the investors and the board looking less worried and get the green light more easily.
