Fresh spy shots of the upcoming Maruti Suzuki Brezza facelift have surfaced online, revealing additional details about the updated compact SUV. The latest test mule appears to be undergoing emission testing, suggesting Maruti Suzuki could be evaluating a new powertrain option for the compact SUV alongside cosmetic and feature updates.
Previous spy shots had already revealed cabin updates, including a new 6-speed manual gearbox and a larger infotainment screen. The latest images also provide a clearer look at the revised exterior design.

Maruti Suzuki Brezza facelift: Powertrain updates
The updated Brezza could receive the brand’s 1.0-litre Boosterjet turbo-petrol engine , currently offered on the Maruti Suzuki Fronx, paired with the new 6-speed manual gearbox seen in earlier spy shots. Currently, the Brezza is the only compact SUV in its segment without a turbo-petrol engine option.
A smaller turbo-petrol engine would also allow select Brezza variants to qualify for the lower 18 percent GST bracket applicable to sub-4-metre petrol cars with engines below 1.2 litres. The current Brezza, powered by a 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine, attracts a higher 40 percent GST rate.
Maruti Suzuki is also expected to retain the existing 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine and CNG-powered variants with the facelift. Earlier reports had indicated that the CNG versions could adopt an underbody tank layout, improving usable boot space.
Maruti Suzuki Brezza facelift: exterior details
The latest spy shots show camouflage concentrated around the front and rear bumpers, suggesting the Brezza facelift will receive mild styling revisions rather than a major redesign.
Up front, the SUV appears to feature a revised grille design, while the headlamp units seem largely unchanged from the current model. The front bumper looks revised as well, with reshaped fog-lamp housings and a thicker silver faux skid-plate element. In the middle of the grille, there also appears to be a radar housing, suggesting the Brezza facelift could offer ADAS features.
At the rear, the Brezza facelift appears to get mildly revised bumper detailing, although most of the updates remain hidden under camouflage. The test mule is also seen riding on a new alloy wheel design, likely 16-inch units.
Maruti Suzuki Brezza facelift: Interior and features
Earlier spy shots had also revealed a new 6-speed manual gearbox for the Brezza facelift. The facelift is also expected to feature a revised dashboard layout with a larger 10.1-inch infotainment touchscreen, replacing the current model’s 9-inch unit. The new screen is likely to be similar to the one seen on the Maruti Suzuki Victoris. The cabin is also likely to receive new trims and features, along with a fresh colour scheme.
Maruti Suzuki Brezza facelift: launch timeline
The Brezza facelift is expected to arrive in the festive season later this year or sometime in 2027. Prices are likely to increase slightly over the current model, which is priced between Rs 8.26 lakh and Rs 12.86 lakh (ex-showroom).
The updated Brezza will continue to rival the Tata Nexon, Hyundai Venue, Kia Sonet, Mahindra XUV 3XO, Skoda Kylaq and Kia Syros.
