Sales of the Maruti Brezza may have dipped in the past month to 10,362 units as against 14,425 units sold in September 2018; but it has managed to gain a top most position where compact SUVs are concerned. This is the first time in 3 months that Maruti Brezza has managed to beat Hyundai Venue in sales.
Maruti Suzuki is taking on the attack in the compact SUV segment, promoting the Vitara Brezza with innovative schemes to attract buyers. Maruti Suzuki introduced free warranty for 5 years or 1 lakh kms. In addition to this, there is also attractive discount on offer. Hyundai Venue is not sold at any discount.
Taking into account sales in the month of September, it can be seen that the Maruti Brezza emerged at a No.1 spot on the list of best selling compact SUVs. This was despite the fact that sales decreased 28 percent to 10,362 units as compared to 14,425 units sold in the same month of the previous year.
