The facelifted version of the Maruti Suzuki Brezza is expected to go on sale soon in India with minor cosmetic updates and a longer features list
The Brezza plays a significant role in Maruti Suzuki garnering high volume sales especially in the highly demanding SUV segment in India but it is certainly due a mid-cycle update. Rightfully, the Indo-Japanese manufacturer is also set to introduce a facelifted model in the coming months judging by the frequent spotting of test prototypes.
A camouflaged mule of the 2026 Brezza has been spotted once again indicating that Maruti Suzuki is indeed cooking up a significant update for its compact SUV. While the overall proportions remain instantly recognisable, the test vehicle suggests that the focus this time could be more on functionality and inclusion of new technology and features.
One of the most talked-about developments is related to the CNG variant. The updated Brezza is believed to be evaluating an underfloor CNG tank placement instead of positioning the cylinder inside the luggage bay. If this configuration makes it to production, it would solve one of the biggest compromises faced by CNG buyers – reduced boot capacity.
Earlier prototypes carrying CNG markings have added weight to this speculation but heavy camouflage makes it difficult to confirm definitively. Such a move would significantly enhance practicality in a similar fashion to the Victoris. Interior upgrades are also expected to play a central role in the refresh. A larger 10.1-inch touchscreen infotainment unit is likely to be introduced – potentially offering improved resolution and expanded connectivity features.
The SUV already comes with a head-up display supporting navigation prompts. Additionally, the test sighting suggest that a six-speed manual gearbox may replace the existing five-speed unit mated to the 1.5L petrol engine. The front end does not show obvious alterations under camouflage. However, redesigned alloy wheels have been clearly observed.
A small exposed section along the side hints at slimmer body cladding suggesting a slightly cleaner look compared to the outgoing model. Mechanically, the Brezza is expected to retain its current engine lineup. The 1.5-litre K15C petrol motor should continue to produce around 102 bhp and 137 Nm of torque while the CNG version is likely to maintain outputs close to 87 bhp and 121.5 Nm.
