Is the Suzuki Vitara Brezza a good car?
In its designated role as an affordable, comfortable, spacious and well-equipped family car, the Vitara Brezza shines. In fact, it’s so good that Toyota re-badges some of them to sell through their own dealership network.
Who is the Suzuki Vitara Brezza a good car for?
Young families, empty-nesters, and even sales reps will find a lot to appreciate about the Brezza. It will also have tons of appeal to buyers who want a lot of car without paying too much.
Is the Suzuki Vitara Brezza a good first car?
It’s compact enough to be easy to handle, and the raised seating position and large glass area give the Vitara Brezza good vision from the driver’s seat. It also comes with rear parking sensors and a rear-view camera standard across the range, and it scored a 4-star Global NCAP safety rating, but the absence of stability control is a bit disappointing (though not unusual at this price point).
Is the Suzuki Vitara Brezza a good family car?
Young families will have no hassles with using a Vitara Brezza as their mode of transport, although the luggage compartment is on the small side at 328 litres, but there’s plenty of cabin space. Rear ISOFIX child seat anchors and wide-opening doors should also make the use of safety seats easy enough.
Is there a hybrid Suzuki Vitara Brezza?
The Vitara Brezza is only offered with petrol power, with no diesel or hybrid on the horizon. The non-turbo 4-cylinder petrol engine displaces 1.5-litres and produces 77 kW and 138 Nm, which is sent to the front wheels through either a 5-speed manual gearbox or a 4-speed torque converter automatic.

Reviewer's opinion
“The Vitara Brezza offers excellent value and everyday practicality. It is a versatile and comfortable daily driver which is suitable for everyone. Another plus point is that it fits into my tiny garage, yet my teenager doesn't complain about not having enough space for her legs, and there's plenty of space in the boot." – Ané Albertse, AutoTrader

Interior
What is the Suzuki Vitara Brezza like inside?
It’s pretty much normal Suzuki fare inside, with a cabin that’s screwed together tightly, albeit from hard plastics. It’s all about comfort and clever space efficiency, with dual glove boxes and plenty of oddment space.
Style
“Black cloth seats with velvety honeycomb-design inserts and a no-nonsense dashboard configuration are testament to Suzuki's eye on practical, comfortable, and fuss-free transport. The Brezza's predominantly black cabin certainly has its fair share of hard plastics, but it's solidly built and the monotony is broken with piano-black trim and silver plastic accents.”
