Maruti Suzuki has launched the 2026 Brezza at a starting price of Rs 7.40 lakh (ex-showroom) for the new direct-injection turbo-petrol version. Other variants’ prices, including those of the 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol and CNG versions, are yet to be revealed. Apart from an additional engine option, the Brezza gets a new gearbox, more features and minor changes to its exterior. The 2026 Maruti Brezza will take on the likes of the Hyundai Venue, Skoda Kylaq, Tata Nexon, Mahindra XUV 3XO, Kia Sonet and Syros.
- New 1.0-litre ‘Boosterjet’ engine produces 110hp and 170Nm
- 5-speed manual gearbox replaced by a new 6-speed unit
- Ventilated front seats, air purifier and larger 10.1-inch touchscreen among features
2026 Maruti Brezza powertrains
Finally gets a turbo-petrol and an underbody-mounted CNG kit
The biggest update for the Brezza comes under its hood. It is now available with the choice of a new 1.0-litre ‘Boosterjet’ direct-injection turbo-petrol engine that develops 110hp and 170Nm. The previous version’s 103hp, 139Nm 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine has been retained with the option of pairing it with a CNG kit. However, like the Victoris, its CNG versions now feature an underbody-mounted kit, which saves boot space. Another similarity with the Victoris is that the spare tyre has been removed. Irrespective of the variant chosen, you only get a puncture repair kit. All powertrains are paired with a new 6-speed manual gearbox as standard, while only the 1.5-litre petrol engine offers a 6-speed automatic transmission.
2026 Maruti Brezza exterior updates
Mild updates bring a revised fascia and new alloy wheel designs
On the outside, Maruti has introduced minor styling updates for its compact SUV. The revised fascia gets a newly designed grille with a panel connecting the headlamps finished in dark chrome. The bumper is slightly redesigned with dark chrome elements and a new look for the faux skid plate. While the LED headlamps with L-shaped daytime running lamps (DRLs) have been carried over, the fog lamps have been positioned slightly upwards and sit in a new triangular housing.
In profile, the lower sides of the doors feature new dual-tone cladding, and the 16-inch alloy wheels have a fresh design. It’s at the rear where the 2026 Brezza does not see as many changes, as it gets the same tail-lamps and bumper design as before.
2026 Maruti Brezza interior and feature updates
Gets a larger infotainment display and front-seat ventilation
Inside, the 2026 Brezza’s cabin gets a revised look. While the same black-and-brown theme is retained, there are new trim materials, and silver trim pieces from the previous version are now finished in gloss black. The dual-tone leatherette-finished seats have updated upholstery, and there’s a new set of HVAC switches borrowed from the Victoris.
In the features department, new additions include a larger 10.1-inch (up from 9-inch) Smartplay Pro X infotainment system with built-in navigation and Alexa, 64-colour ambient lighting, ventilated front seats, an air purifier and active cooling for the wireless phone charger. On the safety front, the Brezza now gets a tyre-pressure monitoring system, blind-spot warning, rear cross-traffic alert, safe exit warning and parking sensors at the front.
