Brezza vs EcoSport: presenting a quick price and spec comparo between these two sub 4 meter compact SUVs
If we talk in absolute terms, the direct rival of Brezza is neither the TUV300 nor the upcoming NuvoSport since both of them are ladder frame SUVs. The monocoque EcoSport is what Maruti has in sights and Ford very well understands that.
EcoSport was the pioneer of the sub 4 metre compact SUV segment. It enjoyed a monopoly for a long time and taking advantage of that they increased the prices by as much as upto 2 Lakhs (approx) on some variants within two and a half years!
And as it always happens, it look a Brezza to let Ford know that nothing is invincible! The Americans officially announced yesterday a massive slash on their complete lineup upto a tune of Rs 1.12 Lakhs! (New vs Old Prices here). So, how does it stack up against the new Brezza… let us take a look…
- Brezza gets the tried and tested Multijet diesel mill in VGT form. Ford beats that with its capacity advantage and produces more horsepower as well as torque.
- However, Maruti strikes back with a rated higher fuel efficiency figures which are also the segment-best!
- EcoSport is slightly bigger in terms of length and wheelbase but Brezza is wider and has a slightly smaller turning radius.
- EcoSport also has a bigger boot space so that you can carry more stuff.
- Brezza gets 16 inch wheels right from the base variant while EcoSport gets 15 inchers on all variants except the top end trim (which gets 16 inchers).
Safety
In terms of safety, Brezza gets driver airbags standard in all variants. Passenger side airbags, ABS and EBD are optional in all variants. Ford, on the other hand offers ABS and EBD in all variants except the entry trim. Airbags, however, are available only from the second mid trim. The top of the line EcoSport, however, gets a total of 6 airbags including side and curtain airbags.
Brezza vs EcoSport: Price
Let’s quickly jump to the price comparo sheet…
The EcoSport despite the price cut is more expensive than the Vitara Brezza. However, there is a big possibility that with time Maruti will increase its prices. Moreover, Brezza is also being readied with petrol engines.
