- Maruti has removed the spare tyre from the Brezza, now only offering a puncture repair kit and a tyre inflator.
- The boot volume remains the same at 328 litres, with a square shape that offers more practicality than the number suggests.
- The Brezza offers a spacious interior, allowing three adults to sit abreast at the rear in reasonable comfort.
- The 1.0-litre, three-cylinder Boosterjet engine produces 110hp and 170Nm on the Brezza, which means the numbers are up by 10hp and 23Nm compared to the Fronx.
- The new Boostejet engine not only qualifies the Brezza for the sub-4m tax slab, but also brings a much-needed dose of performance.
- The Brezza’s familiar 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine remains on offer alongside the new Boosterjet engine, but it’s expectedly more expensive as it attracts a higher 40 percent GST.
- While performance from the new turbo engine is smooth and linear, it doesn’t have the outright punch expected compared to some rivals.
- In preliminary tests, the 1.0 Turbo accelerated from 0-100kph in a modest 12.36sec, just 0.3sec quicker than the old 1.5 NA petrol manual version.
The Maruti Brezza facelift introduces a new 1.0-litre Boosterjet engine that produces 110hp and 170Nm, marking an increase of 10hp and 23Nm compared to the previous model. This engine qualifies the Brezza for the sub-4m tax slab, enhancing its appeal in the competitive market.45
The Brezza continues to offer a spacious interior, accommodating three adults comfortably in the rear, which is a rarity in its class. The front seats are designed for larger frames, ensuring a comfortable ride for all passengers. The boot space remains at 328 litres, with a practical square shape that maximizes usability.23
While the new turbo engine provides smooth and linear performance, it lacks the outright punch seen in some competitors. Preliminary tests show the 1.0 Turbo can accelerate from 0-100kph in 12.36 seconds, just slightly quicker than the previous 1.5 NA petrol version. Additionally, Maruti has opted to remove the spare tyre, now providing only a puncture repair kit and a tyre inflator instead, which may affect some buyers' perceptions of reliability.18
Overall, the Brezza facelift combines improved performance with a spacious interior, making it a strong contender in its segment.
“The new 1.0-litre Turbo engine accelerates from 0-100kph in 12.36 seconds, just 0.3 seconds quicker than the previous 1.5-litre version. Additionally, the familiar 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine remains available but incurs a higher 40 percent GST.”
