Maruti Suzuki has officially launched the 2026 Brezza facelift in India, starting at an introductory price of Rs. 7.40 lakh (ex-showroom). While the exterior builds upon the familiar, bold compact-SUV stance, the true upgrades lie beneath the skin — featuring a significantly beefed-up 1.0-litre Boosterjet turbo engine, a new 6-speed transmission, cabin tech borrowed from upper-segment models, and a 5-star Bharat NCAP safety rating.
Engine & Performance: More Punch Under the Hood
The highlight of the 2026 refresh is the inclusion of Maruti’s retuned 1.0-litre Boosterjet turbo-petrol engine. While this engine is also featured in the Fronx, Maruti has tuned it higher for the Brezza to match its heft and competitive segment demands.
