In a significant move to maintain its edge in the highly competitive sub-compact SUV segment, Maruti Suzuki has introduced a premium makeover for the beloved Brezza. This urban SUV has consistently been among the top-selling models in its category, thanks to its practicality, fuel efficiency, and brand reliability. With this latest update, Maruti is not just aiming to stay relevant—it is elevating the Brezza into a more premium territory, both in terms of aesthetics and features.
A Bolder, More Dynamic Exterior
The first and most noticeable change is the exterior design. Maruti has given the Brezza a facelift that makes it look more upmarket and contemporary. The new Brezza sports a redesigned front grille with bold chrome accents, giving the SUV a more commanding road presence. The headlights have been upgraded to sleek, dual-function LED DRLs, flanking a sharper and more sculpted front bumper.
At the rear, the taillamps are now connected by a smoked LED strip, enhancing the sense of width. The tailgate design has also been refined with a more angular profile and updated badging. New dual-tone color schemes and diamond-cut alloy wheels further accentuate the Brezza’s fresh personality.
Exterior Highlights:
- Chrome-accented grille
- Dual-function LED DRLs
- LED connected taillights
- New diamond-cut alloy wheels
- Sporty roof rails and skid plates
- Fresh dual-tone color options like “Urban Red with Midnight Black Roof”
These tweaks are aimed at appealing to younger buyers who crave a vehicle that’s as stylish as it is functional.
Interiors: A Premium Cabin Experience
While the exterior improvements are eye-catching, it’s inside where the most noticeable changes occur. The cabin of the Brezza has been thoroughly revamped to offer a more premium, comfortable, and connected experience. Soft-touch materials, contrast stitching on the upholstery, and new color themes like “Coffee Brown & Black” or “Ivory with Brushed Silver Accents” elevate the in-cabin ambiance.
The dashboard has been reworked to integrate a larger 9-inch floating infotainment touchscreen with a slicker UI and better touch response. The system now supports wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, along with inbuilt navigation and voice commands.
Interior Highlights:
- Dual-tone leatherette upholstery
- Ambient lighting
- Wireless charging pad
- 9-inch SmartPlay Pro+ infotainment system
- OTA (Over The Air) software updates
- Voice assistant with ‘Hi Suzuki’ wake-up feature
- Rear AC vents and sunroof in top trims
Additionally, the flat-bottom steering wheel with mounted controls and a redesigned instrument cluster featuring a semi-digital display further enhance the driver’s experience.
Tech Upgrade: Connectivity and Safety
In line with the increasing demand for tech-rich cars, Maruti has outfitted the updated Brezza with a comprehensive suite of connected car features. Through the Suzuki Connect app, users can now access a variety of remote functionalities such as vehicle tracking, geo-fencing, remote ignition, climate control, and vehicle health monitoring.
Maruti hasn’t skimped on safety either. The new Brezza comes with 6 airbags (in top variants), ABS with EBD, Hill Hold Assist, Electronic Stability Program (ESP), ISOFIX child seat mounts, and a 360-degree camera. The inclusion of a Head-Up Display (HUD) and a tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS) in select trims shows Maruti’s commitment to enhancing both driver safety and convenience.
Safety and Tech Features:
- 6 airbags
- ESP with Hill Hold Assist
- 360-degree camera
- Tyre Pressure Monitoring System
- Head-Up Display
- Suzuki Connect with 40+ smart features
- Rearview camera with adaptive guidelines
Performance: Smooth and Efficient
Under the hood, the Brezza continues with its reliable 1.5-liter K15C Smart Hybrid petrol engine. It produces around 103 PS of power and 137 Nm of torque. While it may not be the most powerful in its class, the engine is tuned for smooth, linear power delivery and excellent fuel efficiency.
Buyers can choose between a 5-speed manual and a 6-speed torque converter automatic transmission. The mild-hybrid system contributes to better mileage, especially in city driving conditions where regenerative braking and idle start-stop provide real-world fuel-saving benefits.
Powertrain Specs:
- 1.5L K15C Smart Hybrid petrol engine
- Power: 103 PS
- Torque: 137 Nm
- Transmission: 5MT / 6AT
- Claimed mileage: Up to 20.15 km/l (MT), 19.80 km/l (AT)
While there are no diesel or turbo petrol options, the hybrid tech helps bridge the gap, appealing to buyers looking for a balanced drive.
New Variants and Customization
Maruti Suzuki has smartly expanded the variant lineup to offer something for everyone—from cost-conscious buyers to tech-savvy, feature-hungry enthusiasts. The update brings in new trims like ZXi+ DualTone, featuring an electric sunroof, wireless charger, connected car tech, and more.
Maruti’s personalization program now allows customers to choose from multiple accessories bundles—like Adventure, Urban, and Luxe packs. These allow users to tailor the Brezza to their specific lifestyle needs.
Market Positioning and Rivals
The compact SUV space is fiercely contested, with rivals like the Tata Nexon, Hyundai Venue, Kia Sonet, Mahindra XUV300, and Renault Kiger constantly raising the bar. With this update, the Brezza not only keeps up—it confidently positions itself as a strong value offering with an enhanced premium feel.
While the Nexon boasts a turbocharged petrol and EV variant, and the Sonet offers features like ventilated seats, the Brezza counters with a more spacious cabin, better city mileage, and Maruti’s unbeatable service network. The recent update helps Brezza find a sweet spot—balancing affordability with modern features.
Pricing and Availability
The updated Brezza is priced competitively, starting at around ₹8.5 lakh (ex-showroom) and going up to ₹13.5 lakh for the top-tier ZXi+ automatic dual-tone variant. This positions it well below some of its feature-rich competitors, giving buyers a compelling price-to-feature ratio.
Maruti has already begun deliveries across its Arena dealerships, and initial response has been enthusiastic, especially for the mid- and top-spec trims.
Final Thoughts: More Than Just a Facelift
The Brezza has always had a loyal following, and with this premium makeover, Maruti has ensured it doesn’t just retain its current audience but also attracts new, more aspirational buyers. The thoughtful mix of visual upgrades, modern tech, better comfort, and connected features brings the Brezza closer to the expectations of the modern Indian urban buyer.
While it may not be the most powerful or flashiest SUV on the market, the Brezza’s reliability, practicality, and now, added sophistication, make it an even more complete package. If you’re in the market for a compact SUV that offers great value, comfort, and peace of mind—with a dash of luxury—the new Brezza should be high on your shortlist.
