The Vitara Brezza managed to undercut the EcoSport by a considerable margin. However, days after the Brezza’s launch, Ford India decided to slash prices of the EcoSport. The top-spec Brezza trims do not enjoy a significant price advantage over the EcoSport anymore. The Hyundai Creta and the Renault Duster are slightly pricier offerings, but they are bigger in size. The BR-V is similarly priced toย the Creta and the Duster. As far as the Tata Nexon is concerned, its pricing will be comparable to Brezza and EcoSport. The vital role in the outcome of this Maruti Vitara Brezza vs Creta vs EcoSport vs Duster vs BR-V Tata Nexon comparison is played by the price. And the Brezza takes a huge lead here.

Maruti Vitara Brezza vs Creta vs Ecosport vs Duster vs BR-V vs Tata Nexon – Design Comparison
The exteriors of the Vitara borrow heavily from concepts that wereย showcased at previous editions of the AutoExpo. Which means you can get a smart looking exterior influenced by the iV-4 and XA-Alpha. However, some might find the exterior of the Brezza a bit mundane. The Creta, EcoSport and Duster have all been very well received in terms of design. The Nexon is easily the most stylish of the lot. The Honda BR-V has strong hints of the Mobilio in its design, but a smart new face, new tail and increased ride height give it an identity of its own.

The Maruti Vitara borrows its powertrain from the Ciaz and thish means it gets a 1.3-litre diesel unit. The EcoSport’s 1.0 litre EcoBoost is the most powerful petrol engine while the Creta’s 1.6-litre unit is the most powerful diesel unit here. However, we should point out that the Brezza does not have a petrol engine in its lineup yet. As of now, only the Creta andย the Duster facelift are available with a diesel automatic option. The EcoSport is the only petrol SUV that gets an AT. Only the Renault Duster is available with an optional AWD. Honda BR-V to utilises the same 1.5 L diesel that powers the City/Jazz/Mobilio/Amaze, while the petrol will be borrowed from the Mobilio/City. For the Nexon, Tata is developing all new engines including a 1.5 L diesel and a 1.2 L turbo petrol.
