Maruti Suzuki India is getting ready to launch the new and updated Maruti Suzuki Brezza subcompact SUV in the Indian market. The updated Brezza had earlier been spotted on multiple occasions undergoing road tests with heavy camouflage. Now, for the first time, the SUV has been seen completely undisguised, revealing its exterior design without any covering. The second-generation Brezza made its debut in 2022, and a few years into its lifecycle, it is now set for a major update. As per the new spied image, at the front, the updated SUV replaces the earlier black detailing with chrome highlights, giving it a noticeably different appearance. On the existing model, a stretch of black cladding links the fog lamp area to the air intake section. In contrast, the 2026 model features a distinct fog lamp enclosure, with no connecting cladding between it and the air intakes. dual-tone ORVMs can also be seen along with a chrome strip running along the side body cladding, adding a fresh visual element to the profile. It also features newly designed 16-inch multi-spoke alloy wheels. At rear, it’s expected to get re-designed tailgate and LED tail lamps. However, connected tail lamps – a feature increasingly seen across new models are not expected to be part of the update.

Moving inside, the overall interior layout will remain the same, but it will get minor tweaks such as a redesigned console, new upholstery and more. The spy images also suggest that the facelifted model will feature a larger touchscreen infotainment system. Other expected features include a wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, connected car tech, wireless charging, a premium sound system, connected car tech, heads-up display, cruise control, automatic climate control, ambient lighting, single pane electric sunroof, ventilated front seats and more.Mechanically, the Brezza is expected to get minor suspension tuning for better comfort and handling. Recently a spy shot revealed the new Brezza with a 6-speed manual gearbox. That said, this doesn’t mean a brand-new engine is on the way, like a turbo-petrol. The extra gear is more likely meant to improve ratios, making highway driving easier and possibly boosting fuel efficiency as well. At the same time, the SUV could also receive the 1.0-litre, three-cylinder Boosterjet turbo-petrol engine currently offered in the Fronx. However, there has been no official confirmation so far.The facelift is expected to continue with the same 1.5-litre four-cylinder naturally aspirated petrol engine with 103 PS power and 137 Nm torque. Apart from the expected 6-speed manual, the 6-speed torque converter automatic is expected to continue. The CNG variants of Brezza are also expected to get an underbody CNG tank as seen in the Victoris.Image source: Rushlane/Instagram
