Maruti Jimny vs Maruti Brezza – Exterior and Interior


Maruti Jimny from the outside looks like box-shape SUV. It has round shape LED headlamps with five rectangular blocks on the grille and the logo in center. The Jimny has body cladding all over the body and small LED foglamps on the hard-plastic black body at the front. It has faux silver skid plate bumper at the front. Moving to the side, it has upright pillars, with square shape windows and the extended portion behind the rear door has a large vertical glass surrounded by thick pillars. Moving to the rear, it has spare wheel mounted on the door with exposed hinges, and the taillamps are on the bumpers. The Jimny rides on the 15-inch alloy wheels.


At the front as you can see, Maruti Suzuki Brezza, we can see the hard plastic front of the grille joining the LED headlamps and inside the headlamps unit is the L-shaped LED DRLs, and the bumpers both front and rear are finished in faux skid silver plate. Moving to the side, the whole SUV has body cladding with 16-inch alloy wheels and functional roof rails.

From the inside, the Jimny has a 9-inch infotainment system with a rectangular shape AC vent below and round AC vents at the sides. On the dashboard it has a grab handle to either get in the Jimny or to hold onto it when off-roading. It has three-spoke multi-function steering wheel with Analog instrument cluster and a TFT display between the analog dials. Below the auto climate controls, there are buttons for hill descent control, traction control, window control for passenger and driver, and right next to the engine start/stop there is button called headlamp washer to sprinkle some water on the headlamps. Then there is the lever for the low range transfer, and just below that is the buttons for window controls for the rear passenger. The front passenger and driver can be fully reclined as well. The rear seats are split in 60:40 ratio and it has 4-speaker Arkamy’s sound system.
The Maruti Brezza has the same layout as the other Maruti models as it’s got 9-inch infotainment system on top of the AC vents and the rectangle-shaped AC vents at the side. It’s got dual-tone dashboard option as well. The Brezza has the three-spoke multi-function steering wheel with Analog instrument cluster and a TFT display between the Analog dials, and single-pane sunroof. Moving to the rear, it has the seats split in 60:40 ratio, ambient lighting on the doors and at the footrest in the front, and has 6-speakers Arkamys sound system.

The Brezza is not an off-road capable SUV and is more like a lifestyle SUV that offers great mileage, space, features, and comfort. Therefore, if you have an off-road SUV requirement then you should opt for the Jimny otherwise the Brezza is a great SUV!
