During the course of the Maruti Vitara Brezza petrol launch, many people kept sceptical about the company’s decision as given the fact that diesel cars are more preferred by people when it comes to the SUVs and crossover. However, it turns out that demands for the Maruti Vitara Brezza petrol are on the steeper side. In September 2020, the Maruti Vitara Brezza petrol registered 9,513 units. During the same period last year, the carmaker was able to sell 10,362 units of the Vitara Brezza (diesel), which translates into year-on-year degrowth of 11.67 per cent only.
