All-New Maruti Brezza Exterior Design:

Despite going through a major overhaul, the New Brezza continues to feature a boxy design that the customers have loved over the years. While the overall silhouette of the four-wheeler remains the same it has received significant updates to its front and rear profiles. The change to the front end includes a new gloss black grille with arrow like elements, new headlamp units and a large air duct with faux skid plate. Differences at the rear is limited to a completely redesigned tailgate and new LED taillamp units. Other changes to the vehicles exterior include a new design 16-inch alloy wheel and a thicker C-Pillar.

Despite all the changes, the Brezza largely remains the same in terms of its dimension measuring 3995mm in length, 1790mm in width and having a wheelbase of 2500mm. The only change is the addition of 45 mm to the car’s height.

All-New Maruti Brezza Interior Layout:

Compared to the old version, the new model features a completely redesigned cabin featuring a layered dashboard. The compact-SUV shares a lot of its interior layout, switchgear and features with the recently launched Baleno hatchback. This includes controls for the AC unit, a new flat-bottom steering wheel, a large 9-inch SmartPlay Pro touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a 360-degree camera, HUD, wireless charging, ambient lighting and a sunroof. Unlike the blue theme seen in the Baleno’s cabin, the Brezza gets a brown wood trim on the dashboard.

All-New Maruti Brezza Powertrain Options:

One of the major change on the All-New Brezza is the updated 1.5-litre K-15C naturally aspirated petrol engine that comes mated to a 12V mild-hybrid system. The unit is capable of producing a max power output of around 104bhp and comes mated to either a 5-speed manual or to a new 6-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters. The petrol mill is expected to return a higher fuel efficiency, helping the company comply better to the CAFÉ-2 norms.

All-New Maruti Brezza Safety Equipment:

It is one of the safest Maruti Suzuki cars available in the country and the new model is no different. Taking safety to the next-level the company is providing 6-airbags, ABS with EBD, ESP and hill hold assist on the SUV.

Variant wise pricing:

The company is offering the SUV in 6 manual and 5 automatic variants. Here is a price list image for your reference.
