The VXI variant is the one above base trim for the new Brezza, demanding around Rs 1.5 lakh over the LXI variant. If you’re going for the VXI AT variant, you need to pay another Rs 1.5 lakh extra on top of that. Does the VXI offer enough value for its premium? Let’s find out.

Variant	Manual	AT
VXI	Rs 9.47 lakh	Rs 10.97 lakh
ZXI	Rs 10.87 lakh	Rs 12.37 lakh
Difference	Rs 1.40 lakh	Rs 1.40 lakh

Why Consider The Brezza VXI?

The Maruti Brezza VXI variant gets some important feature additions over the LXI, that make it easier to live with. It gets a touchscreen infotainment, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, auto AC, and height adjustment for the driver’s seat. From the VXI variant, you also have the option of a 6-speed automatic gearbox with paddle shifters, in addition to the 5-speed manual.

Here are the features that you get with this variant:

Highlights	Exterior	Interior	Comfort and Convenience	Infotainment	Safety
	Steel wheels with wheel cover Bi-halogen headlamps Roof spoiler LED rear combination lamp Shark fin antenna Body cladding Front and rear skid plate	Chrome plated inside door handles Fabric door armrest Black interior theme	Height adjustable driver seat Adjustable front and rear seat headrest Electrically foldable ORVMs Automatic climate control Rear AC vents	7-inch SmartPlay studio touchscreen system Android Auto and Apple CarPlay Steering-mounted audio controls 4 speakers	Rear defogger ESP Hill-hold assist Dual front airbags ISOFIX
Upgrade to ZXI if you want:	16-inch alloy wheels Dual LED projector headlamps LED DRLs	Dual-tone interior theme	Electric sunroof Cruise control 60:40 rear split seats	7-inch SmartPlay Pro touchscreen system	Rear parking camera

Why Skip The VXI Variant?

With more features, the VXI variant does command a steep premium, which still doesn’t feel like a complete package. You can get aftermarket fittings for the touchscreen infotainment and it will still be lower than the premium. If you have the budget for the VXI variant, we will recommend you to try the next variant - ZXI.
