The Maruti Suzuki Brezza has ruled India’s sub-4m SUV segment since 2016, selling over 10 lakh units. But the 2026 Maruti Brezza promises a massive upgrade, blending premium styling, hybrid powertrains, and ADAS tech to challenge Hyundai Venue and Tata Nexon. Leaks and spy shots hint at a bolder design and smarter features, targeting urban families craving efficiency and safety. Priced from ₹11-20 lakh (expected), it could redefine affordable premium SUVs.
Stunning Premium Exterior Design
Expect the 2026 Brezza to ditch its boxy roots for a sleeker, coupe-like silhouette, inspired by the Grand Vitara.
-
Bold LED Lighting: Split LED headlights with C-shaped DRLs, like the facelifted Fronx, flanked by massive LED tail lamps for a premium night-time presence.
-
Larger Dimensions: Wheelbase stretched to 2,600mm (up 50mm), overall length nearing 4m, boosting cabin space without segment penalty.
-
Muscular Stance: 17-inch alloys, chunky wheel arches, and floating roofline with dual-tone options—perfect for city highways.
Spy shots from early 2026 tests show bronze alloy wheels and a panoramic sunroof rail, elevating its road presence over the current model’s plain Jane looks.
Luxurious & Tech-Loaded Interiors
Inside, the 2026 Brezza upgrades to a dual-tone dashboard with soft-touch materials, rivaling mid-size SUVs.
Key Cabin Highlights:
-
10.25-inch Floating Touchscreen: Wireless Android Auto/Apple CarPlay, AR navigation, and Maruti’s SmartPlay Pro+ suite.
-
Digital Driver Display: Fully customizable 10-inch TFT screen showing hybrid battery status and drive modes.
-
Ventilated Seats: Leatherette upholstery with 6-way power adjustment for the driver, plus ambient lighting in 64 colors.
Rear passengers get USB-C ports (four total), 60:40 split seats, and a 360-degree camera feed on the infotainment. Boot space expands to 450 litres with a powered tailgate—ideal for weekend getaways.
Powerful Hybrid Powertrains for Efficiency
Maruti’s strong hybrid tech from the Grand Vitara arrives, slashing fuel costs amid rising petrol prices.
| Variant | Engine | Power | Mileage (ARAI) | Price (Ex-showroom) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mild Hybrid 1.5L | Petrol + Battery | 103 PS | 22 kmpl | ₹11-14 lakh |
| Strong Hybrid | 1.5L + ECVT | 115 PS combined | 35 kmpl | ₹15-18 lakh |
| CNG Option | 1.5L Twin-Cylinder | 88 PS | 30 km/kg | ₹13-16 lakh |
The strong hybrid pairs a 1.5-litre Atkinson-cycle engine with an electric motor and e-CVT, delivering seamless city drives. Real-world example: The Grand Vitara hybrid hits 30+ kmpl in mixed conditions—expect similar for Brezza, beating Tata Nexon’s 24 kmpl diesel.
Advanced Safety & ADAS Features
Safety leaps forward with Level 2 ADAS, a segment first for Maruti under ₹20 lakh.
Top Safety Tech:
-
6 Airbags Standard: Driver, passenger, side, and curtain across all variants.
-
ADAS Suite: Adaptive cruise control, lane-keep assist, autonomous emergency braking, and traffic jam assist—calibrated for Indian roads.
-
360-Degree Camera + Sensors: Hill-hold, tyre pressure monitoring, and electronic stability control.
Bharat NCAP 5-Star Rating expected, building on the current Brezza’s strong crash scores. Features like blind-spot monitoring address urban parking woes.
Driving Dynamics & Ride Quality
The 2026 Brezza retains its monocoque chassis but adds a torsion beam with Watts linkage for sharper handling.
-
Ride & Handling: Softer suspension tuned for pothole-ridden streets, with drive modes (Eco, Power, Snow).
-
Performance Edge: 0-100 kmph in 10 seconds (hybrid), top speed 180 kmph—nimble for overtakes.
-
NVH Levels: Acoustic glass and extra sound insulation cut cabin noise by 20%, per spy test data.
Compared to rivals, it offers best-in-class turning radius (5.1m), making it a U-turn king in tight bazaars.
Pricing, Variants & Launch Timeline
Maruti teases a mid-2026 debut, with bookings opening Q2.
Expected Variants:
-
LXi (Base): Basic hybrid, alloys.
-
VXi: Sunroof, touchscreen.
-
ZXi+: Top-Spec with ADAS, ventilated seats, premium audio.
On-road prices start at ₹12.5 lakh in Delhi, undercutting Venue by ₹1 lakh. CNG variants target fleet buyers, boosting Maruti’s 50% sub-4m SUV share.
Why Choose 2026 Brezza?
This next-gen Brezza isn’t just an update—it’s a premium disruptor. 35 kmpl hybrid efficiency saves ₹50,000 yearly on fuel (vs. 20 kmpl rivals), while ADAS adds peace of mind for new drivers. Premium looks and tech justify the price, backed by Maruti’s 3-year/1 lakh km warranty.
Rivals like Kia Sonet offer flashier designs, but none match Brezza’s mileage-tech-safety trifecta. For families in metros like Delhi or Hyderabad, it’s the smart pick.
