Maruti Suzuki is all ready to launch the Brezza facelift for 2026 and in the hours before the official announcement of the price, details about its variants and power options have leaked online.

Taking the day's spice up, the new Brezza has additionally been given a five-star Bharat NCAP (BNCAP) safety rating for specific variants, making it one of the safest SUVs in the segment.
According to the latest updates, Maruti is emphasizing on performance, functionality and safety while keeping the Brezza's deceptively appealing charm in the highly competitive compact SUV market.

The 15th-generation Maruti Brezza will also feature the same four variants – LXi, VXi, ZXi and ZXi+ that existed in the previous generation. The trims are made to appeal to a broad spectrum of buyers, from those who want to buy a compact SUV for low cost to those who want to purchase a high-end option.
The most impressive thing is that the new 1.0-litre turbo-petrol will be available on all trims. Maruti is likely to make it available even in the entry level LXi variant, allowing budget conscious buyers the choice of a more powerful engine option.

The facelifted Brezza gets one back from the previous generation the 1.0-litre Boosterjet Turbo-petrol engine, which is available in the Maruti Fronx.
The power generated by this engine should be adequate to make the engine more responsive than the naturally-aspirated petrol engine that generates 99 bhp and 148 Nm of torque. This would be a 1.0 litre turbo-petrol engine as well as a naturally-aspirated petrol 1.5 litre engine coupled with a six-speed manual gearbox.
For those who prefer an automatic gearbox, there would be a 1.5 litre petrol engine in a six-speed torque converter automatic gearbox in the Vxi, Zxi and Zxi+ variants.
Increased Practicality of CNG
The Brezza CNG is also likely to see enhanced functionality with the addition of a new CNG tank on the underbody.
The new tank design is claimed to give boot room comparable to the standard petrol version as against the conventional CNG vehicles which compromise on boot space. The upgrade may make the CNG version a more viable choice for families and those traveling long distances where space and fuel efficiency are considerations.
What to Expect for buyer
The 2026 Maruti BrezzaTypical facelift introduces some significant changes while maintaining the SUV's core appeal. It is a more complete package as it has the Boosterjet turbo-petrol engine, enhanced CNG packaging, several transmission choices and a top safety rating.
