Cons of Maruti Brezza

It’s only the top most variant of Vitara Brezza (Zdi and Zdi+) which has got the features and the entry level variant misses out on them. Moreover, Brezza doesn’t even come with features which the lower priced Maruti Baleno has which includes Bi-Xenon lamps, telescopic steering wheel, no auto dimming IRVM and leather steering. Even it misses out on leather seats, AC vents and centre console.

The S-Cross which has got similar engine specs as that of Brezza comes with four disc brakes and Brezza again misses out on this feature.
