Maruti Suzuki is set to launch the much-anticipated new Brezza in India on June 30, 2022. The second generation of the carmaker’s popular subcompact SUV, the new Brezza drops the Vitara prefix, gets a new petrol heart, a new gearbox and more tech. In the build-up to the launch, the carmaker is already accepting bookings for the all-new model along with making new details on the SUV available ahead of the launch. Going by spy shots, the Brezza retains the basic upright and boxy proportions of the outgoing SUV though it is an all-new model. The front fascia is entirely new while the window line seems to have been altered with a new window housed within the rear pillar. The rear is characterised by slim wrap-around taillamps, a redesigned tailgate and a new bumper.

Spy shots of the cabin too reveal an all-new interior with a redesigned layered dashboard with a new freestanding touchscreen and revised switchgear for the air-con controls. Maruti has also confirmed some of the features that it has made available on the new Brezza. Notable inclusions are a sunroof – a first for this SUV, a head-up display, Maruti’s new SmartPlay Pro+ infotainment system and connected car technology. Maruti has also confirmed that the Brezza will get a 360-degree camera.
Also new is the engine with the Brezza getting the new 1.5-litre DualJet petrol engine. The motor offers around 102 bhp and 135 Nm of peak torque and gets a mild hybrid system. As before a 5-speed manual gearbox will be standard with the old 4-speed automatic making way for a new 6-speed unit with paddle shifters.
We expect Maruti Suzuki to keep prices competitive for the new Brezza with a starting price of around ₹ 7.5 lakh. The fully-loaded model, meanwhile, is expected to top out at around ₹ 11.99 lakh – a premium compared to the price of the outgoing model but there is a lot more tech on board. The new Maruti Suzuki Brezza will go up against the recently launched Hyundai Venue facelift, Kia Sonet, Renault Kiger, Mahindra XUV300, Nissan Magnite and Tata Nexon.
