Maruti Suzuki's new offering in the compact SUV segment, the Vitara Brezza, has garnered over 25,000 bookings within two weeks of its launch, reports Rushlane. Vitara Brezza, which made its entry into the burgeoning compact SUV segment March 8, is the first model from the country's largest car-maker to be conceptualised, designed, developed and validated in India.

The company has commenced the delivery of the model March 25 and is expected to keep the waiting period at minimal.
