Booking Details and Expected Price
The company has started taking bookings for the Brezza facelift at a token amount of ₹11,000. Customers can book the car on Maruti Suzuki's official website, mobile app or by visiting their nearest Arena dealership.
Currently, the ex-showroom price of the current Brezza ranges between ₹8.26 lakh and ₹12.86 lakh (up to ₹14.04 lakh in some variants) The new facelift model might see a slight increase in prices due to the introduction of new features and turbo engines, but the 1.0 -litre engine might see a lower GST. Variant-wise prices will be clear on the day of launch.
Engine and Performance The Turbo Engine (Engine & Performance)
The biggest update on the Brezza facelift will be its new powertrain. In addition to the existing 1.5 -litre petrol engine, the company will also offer the 1.0 -litre Boosterjet turbo-petrol engine. The engine produces 100bhp and 147Nm of torque. It is offered with 5-speed manual and 6-speed automatic transmissions.
The 1.5 -litre K15C Smart Hybrid petrol engine (103 PS / 137 Nm) will also remain in the lineup. There could be a major change in the CNG variant as well. The underbody CNG tank can be given in place of the tank in the boot, which will save boot space.
Design - Cosmetic changes, fresh look (design)
The facelift will feature minor but attractive changes in terms of design. Based on the spy shots and teasers, it is expected to get revised front and rear bumpers, updated LED lighting elements, and new 4-spoke alloy wheels.
There is also a connected LED tail lamp at the rear. However, this is only a mid-cycle update, so there will be no change in the basic dimensions and platform of the Brezza.
Interior and features A cabin full of technology (interior & features)
The company will add several new features to the cabin. The biggest change will be the larger 10.1 -inch touchscreen infotainment system, which will support wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.
Also expected are features like ventilated front seats, powered driver's seat, ambient lighting and digital instrument cluster. However, the reports regarding ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance System) are different. Some sources say that it will not be found, while some are considering it to be possible.
Safety - a strong safety net
The Brezza is already strong in terms of safety, and the facelift could make it even better. The current model comes with 6 airbags standard, ABS with EBD, ESP, hill hold assist and ISOFIX, and also has a 4-star Global NCAP rating. The facelift is likely to add front parking sensors, which have been seen in test mules. The availability of ADAS is not yet clear.
Competition and Market Position
With this facelift, the Brezza will become one of the few compact SUVs to have a turbo petrol engine option. So far in this segment, cars like Nexon, Venue, Sonet and XUV 3XO had a turbo engine, while Brezza was behind in this case.
The Tata Nexon rivals the likes of the Hyundai Venue, Kia Sonet, Mahindra XUV3XO, Skoda Kilaq and the Toyota Taisor in the Indian market.
Changes in CNG variants Underbody Tank (CNG Update)
The CNG variant could have a major practical upgrade. Maruti Suzuki could offer an underbody CNG cylinder in the CNG model of the Brezza, as it has done in the Victoria. This will remove the CNG tank in the boot and significantly increase the boot space, which was one of the biggest drawbacks of the current CNG model.
Launch date When will the new Brezza arrive? (Launch date)
According to all reports, the launch of the Maruti Brezza facelift is expected to take place on July 23 or 24, 2026. Most sources give the date as July 23, while others point to July 24.
"In 2026, The New Brezza will represent a perfect synthesis of customer love and unlock a new dimension of excitement," the company said in a statement. Along with this, he has invited customers to book today itself.
Tax Benefits - What is the benefit of a 1.0 -litre engine? (Tax Benefit)
The 1.0 -litre turbo engine is important not just for performance, but also for tax benefits. Since this engine is of less than 1.2 -litre capacity, it falls under the lower GST slab of 18% applicable to sub-4 metre petrol vehicles. Currently, the Brezza's 1.5 -litre engine is not eligible for this slab, which makes its price slightly higher. With the introduction of the new turbo engine, Maruti will be able to keep prices competitive.
What to do next? - - Advice for buyers
If you are planning to buy a compact SUV, it would be prudent to wait for the Brezza facelift. The booking amount of ₹11,000 will give you the first place in the delivery queue, but don't make a final decision before the prices are officially announced.
All variant-wise prices and feature list will be clear on July 23/24. If you need the performance of a turbo engine, the new model will be better for you; If you are happy with the current 1.5 -litre petrol, you can get a discount on the older model.
