Maruti Suzuki is preparing to launch an updated version of its popular compact SUV, the Brezza, with test models already spotted on Indian roads. The 2026 Maruti Suzuki Brezza facelift is expected to hit the market next year, bringing fresh styling and feature enhancements while maintaining the proven powertrain options that have made it one of India's best-selling models in the competitive compact SUV segment.
Exterior Design Updates
The camouflaged prototype of the 2026 Brezza reveals several design changes that align it with Maruti's current design language. The front grille will receive updates to match other contemporary models in Maruti's lineup, while the headlights and both front and rear bumpers will feature subtle redesigns.
Spy shots indicate the new Brezza will sport newly designed four-spoke alloy wheels and retain practical elements like roof rails and a roof-mounted spoiler. The window frames appear similar to the current model, and the taillight design at the rear maintains familiarity with the existing version, suggesting an evolutionary rather than revolutionary approach to the exterior refresh.
Interior and Feature Upgrades
Inside the cabin, Maruti Suzuki is focusing on premiumization to keep the Brezza competitive against feature-rich rivals. The updated interior will feature new color schemes and improved seat materials and upholstery to enhance the premium feel.
Technology upgrades are significant, with expectations pointing toward a larger touchscreen infotainment system and an updated digital driver display. Powered and ventilated front seats are likely additions that would significantly improve occupant comfort, especially in India's varied climate conditions.
The facelifted model will retain popular features from the current version including the sunroof, automatic climate control, and head-up display (HUD), ensuring that existing Brezza fans won't miss out on their favorite amenities.
Safety and Powertrain Specifications
Safety receives substantial attention in the updated Brezza, with the model expected to come standard with six airbags, ABS with EBD, and Electronic Stability Control (ESC). A 360-degree surround view camera system, rear parking sensors, and a reverse camera will further enhance safety and convenience.
Since this is a facelift rather than a complete generation change, the powertrain options remain familiar. The 1.5-liter petrol engine continues, paired with either a five-speed manual transmission or a six-speed automatic gearbox. Power and torque figures are expected to remain unchanged from the current model.
The CNG variant will also continue, though there's speculation that the CNG tank might be relocated to the underbody, similar to the Maruti Suzuki Fronx, which would free up additional boot space—a practical improvement for Indian family buyers.
The current Brezza has been on the market since 2022 and remains one of Maruti Suzuki's strongest performers in the competitive compact SUV space. The 2026 facelift aims to refresh the model's appeal with contemporary styling and enhanced features while maintaining the reliability and driving experience that have contributed to its success.
