Maruti Suzuki India’s models are hitting new sales milestones. The game-changing Maruti Vitara Brezza, launched at the Auto Expo in March 2016, has breezed past the 700,000-unit sales milestone.

The Brezza’s sales journey to this new landmark has taken less than seven years – five fiscals and nine months or specifically 69 months. With this, the Brezza becomes the latest Maruti to cross the 700,000 milestone, after the Ertiga (9 years, 9 months), Baleno, which has gone past a million sales in India (6 years or 72 months), and the Swift (2.5 million units in 16 years).
