The Maruti Suzuki Brezza gives you three engines, and each one comes tied to a particular gearbox. The 1.0-litre turbo-petrol makes 110hp and 170Nm of pulling power and is manual only. The 1.5-litre petrol makes 103hp and 139Nm and is the only engine offered with an automatic. The CNG version makes 89hp and 121.5Nm.

Key facts for the Brezza:

Gearboxes are a 6-speed manual on the turbo and CNG, and a manual or torque converter automatic on the 1.5-litre petrol.
The car measures 3,995mm long, 1,790mm wide and 1,685mm tall on a 2,500mm wheelbase.
Boot space is 328 litres.
The crash rating is 5 stars from Bharat NCAP, with six airbags fitted.
Our testing recorded 12.36 seconds from 0 to 100kph in the 1.0-litre turbo manual.
A single-pane sunroof is fitted rather than a panoramic unit, and there is no digital driver's display.
Front parking sensors support blind-spot warning and rear cross-traffic alert on the higher variants.

I had a test drive of the Brezza VXI AT and found it to have good drive and automatic performance. It was enjoyable compared to another vehicle I tested.

Brezza is good in test drive, but I worry about turbo long-term reliability and mileage in traffic.

I recently bought the Maruti Brezza Turbo VXI, but it's not good for 12 years.

I am planning to buy a Brezza NA mainly because I want to keep it for as long as allowed by the government. With increasing traffic, automatic transmission is advisable.

I’m picking Brezza only because of the 1.5NA engine, as it is reliable.

I’m looking to buy my first car and am considering the Swift and Brezza Turbo. My budget is Rs. 10 lakh, and my monthly running will be around 500 km, mostly in Bengaluru, with occasional trips to Mysuru.

•10h

With only around 500km a month, predominantly in Bengaluru, the Swift is the more sensible first car. It is compact, easy to drive and park, has good visibility and will be considerably easier to live with in Bengaluru traffic. Your occasional Mysuru trips are also well within its capabilities.The Brezza makes sense if you specifically want an SUV, higher ground clearance and a more spacious cabin. However, the important point is that the new Brezza 1.0 turbo is manual only. The 1.5 petrol is the version available with the six-speed automatic. The turbo makes 110hp and 170Nm, so it is more responsive than the Swift, but it is not necessarily the better choice for such low annual running.For a first car and a Rs 10 lakh budget, the Swift also leaves more room to buy a well-equipped variant rather than stretching the budget for an SUV. If an automatic is important, the Swift AMT is worth considering for your usage.

Hi, I have a budget of around Rs 15 lakh. I drive around 180km a week. For two days, I would have to drive on highways for around 80km, while the rest of my driving is a mix of city and local needs. I am a bit confused between the automatic Brezza ZXi and the automatic Grand Vitara Delta. Both have a 1.5-litre naturally aspirated engine. Could you please suggest?

•1d

With around 180km a week, including regular highway use, the Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara makes more sense if the price difference is manageable. Both use the same 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine with a six speed torque converter automatic, so performance is broadly similar. This Maruti Suzuki car is the larger car, with a longer wheelbase, more rear legroom and a larger 373-litre boot.The Maruti Suzuki Brezza ZXi AT does have advantages. It is more compact, easier to manoeuvre and park, and its 328-litre boot is still adequate. If most of your driving were urban and you wanted a more convenient, compact SUV, the Brezza would be the sensible choice.However, with two 80km highway runs every week, the Grand Vitara's additional cabin space and longer wheelbase make it better suited to your usage. Its 1.5-litre engine is not particularly powerful, so neither should be chosen for outright performance, but it is adequate for relaxed highway cruising.

I want to buy an automatic car under Rs 14 lakh on-road in Bangalore. My daily running is around 25km, mostly in city traffic. I have shortlisted two options: the Mahindra XUV 3XO AX5 Petrol Automatic and the Maruti Suzuki Brezza VXI AT. However, both have their pros and cons, which is making it difficult for me to decide. I see a lot of XUV 3XOs on Bangalore roads, and it seems to offer better value for money, with a strong engine, good performance, modern features and attractive discounts. However, I also feel the Brezza, despite its basic interiors and average engine performance, may make more sense as a long-term choice, although it currently has a 2-4 month waiting period. Could you please help me decide which one would be the better choice for my requirements?

Since your usage is primarily in the city and in traffic-filled conditions, the Maruti Suzuki Brezza makes more sense for you. You won't get to use the additional performance of the Mahindra XUV 3XO in these conditions, and instead, you would have to endure its fuel economy, which is far lower. The Brezza's 1.5-litre naturally aspirated engine may fall behind on the spec sheet, but in slow-moving traffic, its larger displacement and non-reliance on a turbocharger actually give it more seamless performance, as there's no turbo lag either. In true Maruti fashion, it has incredible mileage, even with the automatic, and running costs are lower than the Mahindra too. Plus, the quality and availability of service doesn't get much better than Maruti's either. As for features, while the XUV scores better in top-spec variants, which are more expensive, since you are comparing mid-spec AX5 and VXi variants, the difference is not so great. Yes, there will be a waiting period as the facelifted model is newly launched, but we think it's worth the wait for the greater suitability to your usage and the peace of mind you'll get in the long run.

I would like to buy a new car especially SUV in the budget of around 16 lakh. I am travelling around 1200 km monthly. Which is suitable for me between electric or petrol automatic car? My preferences are Maruti Suzuki Brezza ZXi Petrol Automatic, Tata Nexon EV Creative 45 electric and Hyundai Venue HX6 AND HX5. Which will be better for me? I am giving more importance to fuel efficiency, low cost maintenance and safety.

•3d

With a budget of around Rs 16 lakh and a monthly running of 1,200 km, the decision between petrol automatic and electric comes down to your usage pattern and priorities. Since you are giving more importance to fuel efficiency, low maintenance and safety, the Maruti Suzuki Brezza ZXi petrol automatic is the most sensible choice from your shortlist. The Brezza is a proven, reliable car with a wide service network, low maintenance costs and a comfortable ownership experience. It is also a safe car with a good reputation for long-term durability, which is important given your running.The Hyundai Venue HX6 and HX5 are also strong contenders, offering a more premium cabin and a slightly more refined driving experience, but the Brezza edges them out on reliability and ownership costs. The Tata Nexon 3.0 Creative 45 EV is a good electric option, but at 1,200 km a month, the cost savings over petrol are not significant enough to justify the higher upfront cost and the dependency on charging infrastructure, unless you have a dedicated home charger and a predictable usage pattern.Overall, the Brezza ZXi petrol automatic strikes the best balance between efficiency, low maintenance and long-term peace of mind.

Hello, I need your guidance. I am a new learner planning to buy an automatic car for my family soon. My stretched on-road budget is Rs. 14 lakh. I am looking for a car with 5-star safety, good comfort and mileage, low maintenance and service costs, easy spare-parts availability, and good long-term reliability. I currently have two cars in mind: the Honda Amaze ZX CVT and Maruti Suzuki Brezza ZXi AT. Please suggest which one would be better for my requirements, and mention any other options I should consider.

•3d

Go for the Maruti Suzuki Brezza ZXi AT. As a new learner, you want a car that is easy to drive, comfortable for the family and reliable for long-term ownership. The Brezza’s naturally aspirated petrol engine, paired with a torque converter automatic, is smooth, predictable, and well-suited to city driving. At the same time, the higher ground clearance and upright seating position make it easier to judge the road and navigate traffic. Maruti’s service network is the strongest in the country, spare parts are widely available, and maintenance costs are among the lowest, which is exactly what you want for a long-term ownership proposition.
