2026 Maruti Brezza Gets a Major Upgrade: New Turbo Engine, More Features and 5-Star Safety

The 2026 Maruti Brezza has arrived with a much more significant update than a routine facelift.

The Brezza also now carries a 5-star Bharat NCAP safety rating, making the compact SUV more interesting for buyers looking for performance, technology and everyday practicality.

2026 Maruti Brezza Price and Variants

The 2026 Brezza is available in four trims: LXi, VXi, ZXi and ZXi+. Prices range from ₹7.40 lakh to ₹13.55 lakh, ex-showroom. The range includes turbo-petrol, naturally aspirated petrol and factory-fitted CNG versions.

The new turbo-petrol engine makes the entry-level Brezza particularly interesting because it is priced below some of the comparable 1.5-litre petrol variants. Buyers can choose between different powertrains depending on whether performance, automatic convenience or running costs are their priority.

New Turbo-Petrol Engine

One of the biggest changes is the introduction of Maruti Suzuki’s 1.0-litre Boosterjet turbo-petrol engine. It produces 110hp and 170Nm of torque and is paired with a new six-speed manual gearbox. Maruti claims fuel efficiency of up to 20.47kmpl for the turbo-petrol version.

The familiar 1.5-litre petrol engine continues, producing 103hp and 139Nm. It is available with both manual and automatic transmissions, making it the choice for buyers who want an automatic Brezza.

CNG Version Gets a Practical Update

The Brezza continues to offer a factory-fitted CNG option for buyers focused on fuel costs. The updated CNG model gets an underbody tank arrangement designed to preserve boot usability, along with Idle Start-Stop technology and a six-speed manual transmission.

Maruti claims an ARAI-certified efficiency figure of 26.90km/kg for the CNG version.

More Technology and Safety Features

The 2026 Brezza gets a more modern equipment list, including a 10.1-inch touchscreen, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, ventilated front seats, wireless charging, ambient lighting and a 360-degree camera on higher variants.

Safety is another major highlight. The new Brezza has received a 5-star Bharat NCAP rating for both adult and child occupant protection. Six airbags are standard, while features such as blind-spot warning, rear cross-traffic alert, front parking sensors and electronic stability control add further safety assistance.
