Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza is 'Indian Car of the Year 2017'

New Delhi: Maruti Suzuki's Vitara Brezza is a car that needs no introduction. Since its launch in March 2016, it has been the favoured four-wheeler of the commuters.

Rightly so, Maruti Suzuki sold 83,000 units of the Vitara Brezza and and rightfully won 'Indian Car of the Year 2017' award.

"Vitara Brezza has sold nearly 83,000 units since its launch in March 2016, making it one of India's top 10 selling models and propelling Maruti Suzuki to the leadership position in the utility vehicle space as well," the company said in a statement.

A consortium of 15 auto journalists declared Vitara Brezza the "Indian Car of the Year (ICOTY) 2017" among all the cars launched in 2016. It battled it out against the Hyundai Tucson and Toyota Innova Crysta.

In fact, it was loved so much that it was also voted CNB Viewers' Choice Car Of The Year Award a few days earlier.

"Designed and developed by a team of Maruti Suzuki engineers, using Suzuki core technology, engine and platform, Vitara Brezza is heralded as an example of 'Create in India'," Kenichi Ayukawa, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Maruti Suzuki, was quoted as saying in the statement.

"It has brought us the leadership position in the SUV segment," Ayukawa added.
