Design & Looks
The facelift keeps the Brezza’s compact SUV silhouette but refines a few details. Expect a refreshed front grille, slightly reshaped LED headlamps and new alloy wheel designs.

Performance & Mileage
Under the hood, the Brezza retains the 1.5‑litre K15B petrol engine, delivering 103 hp and 138 Nm of torque. The big news is the introduction of a 6‑speed manual transmission, replacing the older 5‑speed unit. This should improve acceleration and fuel efficiency, especially in city traffic.
Maruti claims a mileage of around 17.5 km/l (ARAI) for the new manual, a modest bump over the previous figure.
Price & Rivals
While Maruti has not disclosed exact pricing, analysts expect the facelift to sit in the same bracket as the current Brezza – roughly INR 7.5 lakh to INR 9.5 lakh (ex‑showroom). The bigger screen and extra gear will give it a slight edge over rivals like the Tata Nexon and Hyundai Venue, which already offer comparable features.
