Honda WRV vs Maruti Vitara Brezza Comparison – Exterior Design

While the WRV is based on the Jazz, designers have made extensive changes to the hatchback’s exteriors. The only similarities the can be seen are in the side profile and the rear end. The nose is completely new and features a flatter, high set bonnet. There is body cladding all around and the ride height also witnesses a slight increase.

In contrast, the Maruti Vitara Brezza features a more conventional SUV design. While the exteriors aren’t very eye-catching, the work well and have gone down well with the Indian car buying lot.

Unlike the exteriors, the dashboard of the WR-V is identical to that of the Jazz. The Jazz based crossover features the same design, steering wheel, instrument console, etc. Again, the dashboard design of the Vitara Brezza, much like its exteriors, is a bit conservative. That said, the quality levels are decent and everything is where you would want them to be. While the WR-V’s cabin is flashier, we still prefer the elegant dashboard design of the Vitara Brezza.
