Price and Variant Comparison

 

Pricing is often the first filter. Here is the complete ex-showroom range for each in 2026.

 

Model	Base Variant Price	Top Variant Price
Brezza LXi	₹8.44 lakh	Brezza ZXi+ AT ₹13.29 lakh
Grand Vitara Sigma Petrol	₹11.21 lakh	Grand Vitara Alpha+ Strong Hybrid ₹20.29 lakh
Victoris Sigma Petrol	₹10.72 lakh	Victoris Alpha+ Strong Hybrid ₹20.29 lakh

 

The Brezza is roughly ₹3 lakh cheaper at the entry level than either the Grand Vitara or Victoris. At the top, the Grand Vitara and Victoris are priced identically because they share the same Strong Hybrid Alpha+ configuration.

 

Sai Service tip: If your budget is ₹10 to ₹12 lakh, you have a genuine choice between the top Brezza and the base Grand Vitara or Victoris. Same money, different segment. The next section on features and engines will help you decide.

Engine and Powertrain Options

 

This is where the three SUVs differ the most and where the buying decision usually settles.

 

Brezza Engines

 

• ㆍ 1.5 litre K-series petrol (103 PS, 137 Nm) with mild hybrid, 5-speed manual or 6-speed AT
• ㆍ 1.5 litre S-CNG bi-fuel variant (87 PS on CNG)
• ㆍ Mileage: 17.8 to 19.89 kmpl petrol, 25.51 km/kg CNG

 

Grand Vitara Engines

 

• ㆍ 1.5 litre K-series petrol mild hybrid (103 PS, 137 Nm), 5-speed MT or 6-speed AT
• ㆍ 1.5 litre S-CNG bi-fuel (87 PS on CNG)
• ㆍ 1.5 litre Strong Hybrid Atkinson cycle (91 PS petrol + electric assist, 116 PS combined)
• ㆍ Optional AllGrip Select (four wheel drive) on select mild hybrid variants
• ㆍ Mileage: 21.11 kmpl mild hybrid petrol, 26.6 km/kg CNG, 28.65 kmpl Strong Hybrid

 

Victoris Engines

 

• ㆍ 1.5 litre K-series petrol mild hybrid (103 PS, 137 Nm), 5-speed MT or 6-speed AT
• ㆍ 1.5 litre S-CNG bi-fuel (87 PS on CNG)
• ㆍ 1.5 litre Strong Hybrid Atkinson cycle (91 PS petrol + electric assist, 116 PS combined)
• ㆍ Optional AllGrip Select four wheel drive
• ㆍ Mileage: 21.11 kmpl mild hybrid petrol, 26.6 km/kg CNG, 28.65 kmpl Strong Hybrid

 

Key takeaway: The Brezza is petrol and CNG only. The Grand Vitara and Victoris additionally offer the Strong Hybrid variant that delivers ~28.65 kmpl real-world efficiency. If maximum fuel economy is your priority, the Strong Hybrid is only available on the Grand Vitara or Victoris.

Mileage and Running Cost Comparison

 

Fuel economy directly translates to ownership economics over 5 years. Here is the numeric comparison based on 15,000 km per year usage.

 

Model / Variant	Mileage	Annual Fuel Cost (Petrol at ₹105/L)	5 Year Fuel Cost
Brezza Petrol	19.89 kmpl	₹79,236	₹3,96,180
Brezza CNG	25.51 km/kg (CNG at ₹85/kg)	₹49,980	₹2,49,900
Grand Vitara / Victoris Mild Hybrid	21.11 kmpl	₹74,610	₹3,73,050
Grand Vitara / Victoris CNG	26.6 km/kg	₹47,932	₹2,39,660
Grand Vitara / Victoris Strong Hybrid	28.65 kmpl	₹54,974	₹2,74,870

 

Over 5 years and 75,000 km, the Strong Hybrid saves ₹1.21 lakh in fuel cost vs the equivalent petrol variant. This alone recovers a meaningful chunk of the Strong Hybrid variant price premium.

 

The CNG variants save the most on running cost but require CNG infrastructure availability in your city and around your usual routes.

Feature Comparison

 

Both Nexa Grand Vitara and Arena Victoris carry premium features. The Brezza carries a more focused feature set at its lower price point.

 

Common Features Across All Three

 

• ㆍ 6 airbags standard across most variants
• ㆍ Electronic Stability Program (ESP)
• ㆍ Hill Hold Assist
• ㆍ Rear parking camera and sensors
• ㆍ Push-button start with smart key
• ㆍ LED headlamps and DRLs
• ㆍ Cruise control
• ㆍ Auto climate control on higher variants

 

Brezza Specific Features

• ㆍ Head-up display on top variant
• ㆍ 360 degree camera on top variant
• ㆍ Wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay
• ㆍ Ventilated front seats on Alpha
• ㆍ Single-pane electric sunroof

 

Grand Vitara and Victoris Common Premium Features

• ㆍ 64-colour ambient lighting
• ㆍ Powered tailgate with gesture control
• ㆍ Wireless phone charging
• ㆍ 360 degree camera
• ㆍ Head-up display

 

The Victoris and Grand Vitara essentially share their entire feature set because they are the same car underneath. What differs is styling and the channel through which you buy and service them.

Safety Comparison

 

Safety is where a genuine differentiator emerges.

 

ㆍBrezza: 4 star Global NCAP crash test rating (last tested pre-facelift, retest awaited for the July 2026 facelift)

ㆍGrand Vitara: 5 star Global NCAP rating for adult occupant protection

ㆍVictoris: 5 star Global NCAP rating for adult occupant protection, with published Bharat NCAP results confirming the same

 

All three carry 6 airbags standard, ESP, hill hold, ISOFIX child seat anchors, seatbelt reminders and reverse camera. The Grand Vitara and Victoris additionally receive Level 2 ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance) on top variants including lane departure warning, adaptive cruise control, forward collision warning and blind spot monitoring.

 

For families prioritising active safety plus crash test protection, the Grand Vitara or Victoris is the stronger choice.

 

---

 

Boot Space and Practicality

 

Practical family use is where the Brezza's compact size hurts and where the Grand Vitara / Victoris gain.

 

Metric	Brezza	Grand Vitara	Victoris
Boot capacity	328 litres	373 litres (petrol), 265 litres (Strong Hybrid)	373 litres (petrol), 265 litres (Strong Hybrid)
Ground clearance	198 mm	210 mm	210 mm
Rear legroom	Adequate for 3 adults	Generous	Generous
Under-thigh support (rear)	Modest	Very good	Very good

 

Strong Hybrid variants of the Grand Vitara and Victoris have reduced boot capacity because the hybrid battery pack sits under the boot floor. If maximum boot space is critical, the mild hybrid petrol variant is a better fit.

 

---

 

Ownership Cost and Resale Value

 

Service and resale are the final ownership economics.

 

ㆍService cost: Brezza has the lowest per-service cost due to smaller components. Grand Vitara and Victoris are roughly ₹1,500 to ₹2,500 higher per major service due to the Strong Hybrid systems on those variants. Sai Service Service Centres handle all three models.

 

ㆍInsurance: Brezza insurance is approximately 15 to 20 percent lower than the Grand Vitara / Victoris in the first year due to lower IDV. The Strong Hybrid variants attract slightly higher insurance premiums due to component value.

 

ㆍResale value: Brezza retains 55 to 60 percent value at 5 years (the highest in Maruti's SUV lineup). Grand Vitara retains 50 to 55 percent. Victoris resale data is still emerging (launched September 2025) but is expected to closely mirror the Grand Vitara.
