The Maruti Suzuki Brezza has been spied once again, revealing new details about the upcoming SUV. As per the leaks, the compact SUV is expected to receive a new 6-speed manual transmission. It is expected to be paired with the brand’s 1-litre, 3-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine, which is currently offered with the Maruti Suzuki Fronx.
Currently, the Maruti Suzuki Brezza is the only offering in the segment that comes with a 1.5-litre engine. As a result, it attracts 40% GST against 18% GST levied on other offerings in its class. Also, the Brezza is the only SUV in the sub-4m space that does not get a turbo-petrol engine. That said, with the introduction of this new engine, the prices of the Brezza could be reduced significantly, making it a more competitive offering. Besides, the existing 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine is likely to continue with the facelift update.
Aside from the new engine and transmission, the facelifted Brezza is also expected to get a new underbody CNG tank as Victoris, thus providing a more usable space without compromising on the efficiency front.

2026 Maruti Brezza: Exterior and Interior
Speaking of the design changes, Maruti Brezza will receive minor styling changes in the form of a new front grille, sleeker lighting setup, freshly designed blacked-out alloy wheels, and reprofiled bumpers at both ends.
Inside, it is expected to get a slightly revamped dashboard layout to house a new floating 10-inch infotainment system and a fully digital instrument cluster. The cabin theme could also be updated, and the dashboard may get a soft-touch finish for a more premium feel.
Going by the rising competition in the segment, the refreshed SUV is also expected to receive a host of new features, including a powered driver seat with ventilation function for both driver and co-driver, ambient lighting and front parking sensors. We would love it if Maruti also equips the car with a panoramic sunroof and atleast level-1 ADAS suite.
