Maruti Suzuki has just pulled the wraps off the 2026 Brezza facelift, and it’s arguably the most significant update this SUV has received since the second generation debuted back in 2022. If you’ve been holding off on booking a compact SUV, waiting to see what changes, this is the article you need. Here’s everything about the new 2026 Maruti Brezza facelift price, features, and specifications.
When Did the New Brezza Actually Launch?
After weeks of spy shots, leaked brochures, and dealer chatter, Maruti officially launched the updated Brezza on July 24, 2026. As of July 2026, according to multiple dealership and media reports, the SUV is already listed on Maruti’s website with open bookings, and deliveries are expected to begin within the next few weeks depending on regional stock availability.
Interestingly, order books had actually opened on July 14, 2026 — ten days before the official price reveal — which tells you how confident Maruti was in the demand for this update.
2026 Maruti Brezza Price: Variant-Wise Breakdown
The updated Brezza starts at Rs 7.40 lakh (ex-showroom), making it only marginally more expensive than the outgoing model despite the added engine option and features. It’s offered across four variants:
| Variant | Fuel/Transmission Options |
| LXi | 1.5L Petrol MT, 1.0L Turbo-Petrol MT |
| VXi | 1.5L Petrol MT/AT, 1.0L Turbo-Petrol MT |
| ZXi | 1.5L Petrol MT/AT, 1.0L Turbo-Petrol MT |
| ZXi+ | 1.5L Petrol MT/AT, 1.0L Turbo-Petrol MT |
Maruti hasn’t published the complete top-to-bottom price list for every variant and engine combination yet, but the base LXi trim anchors the range at Rs 7.40 lakh, with the fully-loaded ZXi+ automatic expected to sit closer to the Rs 12-13 lakh mark once full pricing is out. If you’re comparing costs, it’s worth checking the official Maruti Suzuki NEXA/Arena site directly, since dealers are still updating on-road figures city by city.
What’s New Under the Hood: Engine & Performance
This is where the 2026 Brezza genuinely earns the word “update” rather than just a cosmetic refresh. Buyers now get three distinct powertrain choices:
- 1.5-litre Naturally Aspirated Petrol — Producing 103 PS and 139 Nm, available with either a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed torque converter automatic (an upgrade from the older 4-speed AT).
- 1.0-litre Turbo-Petrol (Boosterjet) — Borrowed from the Maruti Fronx, this three-cylinder unit is tuned for around 99-110 PS and roughly 148-170 Nm of torque, depending on the final ARAI-certified figures. It’s offered exclusively with a 6-speed manual gearbox for now.
- Underbody CNG Kit — The 1.5-litre engine can also be had with a factory-fitted CNG setup, now producing 88 PS. The big change here is that the dual-cylinder tank sits under the boot floor rather than inside it, a layout borrowed from the Maruti Victoris.
For context, the outgoing Brezza’s CNG version was criticised for eating into boot space because the cylinder sat inside the cargo area. This underbody redesign directly fixes that practicality complaint, and it’s a smart move considering how much of Maruti’s compact SUV sales come from CNG buyers in cities like Mumbai, Delhi, and Pune.
Design Changes: Subtle but Noticeable
Maruti has kept the exterior changes deliberately restrained rather than reinventing the Brezza’s silhouette. Key updates include:
- A slimmer front grille finished in chrome (previously grey/matte on lower trims)
- Reworked front bumper with a silver insert on the lower air dam
- New triangular LED fog lamp housings
- Fresh 16-inch dual-tone alloy wheels
- Two new exterior colours — Vivacious Orange and Lustrous Beige — joining the existing seven-shade palette
The overall stance, LED headlamp signature, blacked-out pillars, and wheel arch cladding remain unchanged, so at a quick glance, most people will still recognise it instantly as a Brezza.
Interior & Features: The Real Upgrade
Step inside, and the changes feel more meaningful than the exterior tweaks suggest. Maruti has given the cabin a genuine feature bump:
- A larger 10.1-inch touchscreen infotainment system, borrowed from the Victoris
- New brown leatherette upholstery replacing the earlier black scheme, with winged headrests for rear passengers
- Ventilated front seats — a first for this segment at this price point
- 64-colour ambient lighting
- A cabin air purifier with PM 2.5 filter and AQI display
- Wireless phone charger and a sliding front centre armrest with storage
- A redesigned climate control panel, also lifted from the Victoris
The instrument cluster remains a familiar analogue dial with an MID (multi-information display) rather than a full digital setup, so Maruti has clearly prioritised touchscreen and comfort upgrades over a cluster overhaul.
Safety Features & Bharat NCAP Rating
Safety is one area where the 2026 Brezza genuinely stands out. Just a day before its official launch, the facelifted Brezza scored a 5-star rating in the Bharat NCAP crash test (applicable to select variants), putting it in the same safety bracket as rivals like the Hyundai Venue, Tata Nexon, and Skoda Kylaq.
Standout safety features include:
- 360-degree camera
- Blind-spot warning and rear cross-traffic alert
- Safe exit warning
- Front parking sensors
- Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
How Does It Compare to Rivals?
The 2026 Brezza now goes up against a crowded and genuinely competitive segment: the Hyundai Venue, Kia Sonet, Kia Syros, Toyota Urban Cruiser Taisor, Tata Nexon, Skoda Kylaq, Mahindra XUV 3XO, Renault Kiger, and Nissan Magnite — and even Maruti’s own Fronx to some extent.
What sets the Brezza apart now is the combination of a turbo-petrol option, a practical underbody CNG layout, and a 5-star safety rating, all starting under Rs 7.5 lakh. That’s a genuinely strong value proposition compared to where the segment stood even a year ago.

Final Thoughts
The 2026 Maruti Brezza facelift isn’t a dramatic reinvention, and Maruti clearly didn’t want it to be.
