Underbody CNG Fuel Tank

As per media reports, the new 2026 Maruti Brezza facelift is likely to come with an underbody CNG tank layout similar to the one recently introduced in the Maruti Victoris. This setup frees up the boot space, but requires several mechanical adjustments in the fuel lines, exhaust and platform rails.

Level 2 ADAS

Interestingly, the new 2026 Maruti Brezza facelift is likely to receive a major safety upgrade in the form of a Level 2 ADAS (advanced driver assistance system) suite. The existing safety features will also be carried forward including 6 airbags, hill hold assist, electronic stability program, ABS with EBD, brake assist, traction control system, Isofix child seat anchors, three-point seatbelts for all seats, seatbelt reminders, rear parking sensors, Impact sensing door unlock, adjustable rear headrests and three-point ELR rear centre seatbelt.

What’s More?

The new Maruti Brezza 2026 facelift is expected to witness minor design changes such as the newly-designed alloy wheels and slightly revised LED taillamps borrowed from the Victoris. Inside, the SUV might get updated trims and upholstery, a new cabin theme and a new Victoris-like steering wheel.

Engine & Gearbox

No mechanical changes are expected. The 2026 Maruti Brezza might continue to feature the 1.5L naturally aspirated petrol engine, producing power worth 103bhp and 137Nm of torque. The transmission choices will also remain unchanged – i.e. a 5-speed manual and a 6-speed torque convertor automatic.

A brief look at its journey so far!

The Maruti Brezza was originally introduced as the Vitara Brezza in 2016, and became an instant hit due to its SUV-ish design, efficient powertrain and strong value proposition. The subcompact SUV received a major facelift in 2020, followed by a generational upgrade in 2022, when it dropped the “Vitara” prefix. The second-gen model brought significantly improved styling, several new features and a new 1.5L K15C dualjet petrol engine with mild hybrid tech.
