The latest spy images clearly reveal the exterior design of the SUV. It will feature a new blacked-out grille with chrome inserts flanked by twin-pod LED headlamps integrated with L-shaped daytime running lamps. Its redesigned dual-tone bumper now gets a more chunkier-looking faux skid plate, providing it a sportier appeal.
Yes, the new Brezza retains its boxy silhouette, but its more prominent body cladding, new dual-tone alloys, chunkier roof rails, and noticeably wider C-pillar imparts a more robust appearance.
As revealed by the earlier leaked images, the new will sport a new sculpted tailgate with the ‘B R E Z Z A’ inscription between the newly designed wrap-around LED taillights.
