Maruti Suzuki Brezza facelift: Safety
The 2026 Brezza has significantly improved safety. The small SUV now has a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS), blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, safe exit warning, and front parking sensors in addition to its current safety suite. The redesigned Brezza has further solidified its reputation by earning a five-star safety rating in Bharat NCAP crash tests, placing it among the safest products in its class.
Maruti Suzuki Brezza facelift: Powertrain options
The inclusion of Maruti Suzuki’s new 1.0-liter Boosterjet direct-injection turbo-petrol engine is the largest mechanical modification for the 2026 Brezza. It is available only with a six-speed manual gearbox and produces 110 horsepower and 170 Nm of torque, giving the small SUV a more performance focus.
With 103 horsepower and 139 Nm, the current 1.5-liter normally aspirated gasoline engine is still available for purchase. It may be paired with either a six-speed automatic or the new six-speed manual transmission. Additionally, Maruti Suzuki has kept the factory-fitted CNG option, which now improves luggage capacity by using an underbody-mounted cylinder rather than taking up boot space.
Maruti Suzuki Brezza facelift: Interior design and features
The interior of the 2026 Brezza incorporates a number of improvements to improve the cabin experience while maintaining the well-known dual-tone black and brown style. For a more modern appearance, gloss black trim has taken the place of the silver accents, and the leatherette seats now have updated upholstery. Additionally, Maruti Suzuki has added new HVAC controls from the Victoris to the center console.
Additionally, the feature list has expanded significantly. The former 9-inch display in the new Brezza has been replaced with a larger 10.1-inch SmartPlay Pro X infotainment system with integrated navigation and Alexa functionality. The tiny SUV is significantly more feature-rich than its predecessor thanks to additional noteworthy improvements including ventilated front seats, 64-color ambient lighting, an air purifier, and an actively cooled wireless phone charger.

A new six-speed manual transmission has been added to both the turbo and the current 1.5-liter normally aspirated petrol engine. An underbody-mounted cylinder that frees up boot space is another advantage of the CNG version.

Brezza facelift launched at Rs 7.40 lakh
In India, Maruti Suzuki has launched the 2026 Brezza, which starts at Rs 7.40 lakh (ex-showroom). A new engine choice, a brand-new gearbox, extra amenities, and minor exterior stylistic changes are just a few of the major improvements that the revamped compact SUV offers. It will still face competition from rivals including the Mahindra XUV 3XO, Hyundai Venue, Skoda Kylaq, Tata Nexon, Kia Sonet, and Kia Syros.
Maruti Suzuki Brezza facelift: What we know so far
With a new 1.0-liter BoosterJet turbo-petrol engine that produces about 100 horsepower and 148 Nm, along with Maruti Suzuki’s first six-speed manual transmission, the 2026 Maruti Suzuki Brezza is anticipated to receive its most extensive makeover to date. It is anticipated that the current 1.5-liter naturally aspirated gasoline engine will continue to be available with manual, automatic, and CNG choices. The SUV is anticipated to get ventilated front seats, an automatic parking brake, a panoramic sunroof, a larger infotainment touchscreen, a fully digital instrument cluster, a 360-degree camera, and Level 2 ADAS.
Other Maruti Suzuki models could get the six-speed manual too
The Brezza will be the first Maruti Suzuki passenger car to have a six-speed manual transmission in conjunction with the well-known 1.5-liter naturally aspirated petrol engine. The update might not be available for very long, though. The Grand Vitara’s next significant update is probably going to use the same transmission with the 1.5-liter NA engine, giving consumers a more enjoyable ride and possibly increasing highway refinement and fuel efficiency. The six-speed manual could potentially be added to other Maruti Suzuki cars with the K15-series engine if it is introduced throughout the range.
Turbo BoosterJet badging
‘Turbo BoosterJet’ badging, which highlights the brand’s 1.0-liter turbo-petrol engine, is anticipated on the redesigned Maruti Suzuki Brezza. Turbo-powered models will be distinguished from naturally aspirated models in the lineup by the new symbol.
Maruti Suzuki says buyer aspirations now matter more than demographics
“It’s more about meeting the aspiration of this new and young India that is defined not by demographics but by the mindset and what they want to experience,” stated Partho Banerjee, Senior Executive Officer of Maruti Suzuki, during a press conference a few days before to the launch date.

Maruti Suzuki Brezza facelift: Ventilated seats
The redesigned Brezza will include ventilated front seats, a feature that is becoming more and more common in the market for small SUVs. The system, which pumps air through the seat material to keep passengers cool during lengthy trips, was created to enhance comfort in hot and muggy circumstances. If it were implemented, the Brezza’s premium appeal would be strengthened and it would become more competitive with a number of its main rivals.

The Brezza received 30.41 out of 32 points for Adult Occupant Protection (AOP) and 43 out of 49 points for Child Occupant Protection (COP) in the Bharat NCAP test. A number of manual, automatic, and turbo-petrol models covered by the Bharat NCAP certification are also eligible for the five-star rating. The test was conducted on the ZXi+ variant with the 1.5-liter petrol engine and six-speed automated transmission.
Turbo-petrol to give the Brezza a boost
The Brezza now has a much-needed performance-focused alternative thanks to the addition of a turbo-petrol engine, putting it on par with major competitors in the market. It now competes with vehicles that already have turbocharged gasoline engines, such the Tata Nexon, Hyundai Venue, Kia Sonet, Kia Syros, Mahindra XUV 3XO, and Skoda Kylaq.
