Our dealership sources have confirmed that most of them have exhausted the stock of Maruti Vitara Brezza Diesel and have started unofficial bookings for the Petrol version.
Ahead of the launch of Maruti Vitara Brezza Petrol, the stock of its diesel version has started exhausting. While enquiring with a couple of dealerships, we got to know that most of them have already stopped the bookings for Brezza Diesel as they are out of stocks.
There are very few dealers that have a couple of units of the Maruti Vitara Brezza diesel left. Same is the case with Maruti Ciaz Diesel, for which, most of the dealerships have stopped taking further bookings.
Maruti is going to launch the Brezza with a petrol engine at the 2020 Auto Expo. A couple of dealerships have already started taking unofficial bookings for it. We are yet to get back on the booking amount details.
