2026 Maruti Brezza base trim spied: Details, what to expect

Maruti Suzuki is all set to introduce the updated Brezza on July 24, and ahead of its official launch, the compact SUV has been spotted in its entry-level LXI trim without camouflage. The latest spy shots provide the first detailed look at the base version.At the front, the 2026 Brezza features a redesigned grille with a more enclosed look, paired with a revised front bumper. Despite being the base LXI variant, the model seen appears to be equipped with projector headlamps. Like most entry-level trims, it continues to use black steel wheels instead of alloy wheels.While the interior of the LXI variant has not been fully seen, the updated Brezza is expected to get several feature additions to the lineup. Higher trims are likely to get a larger 10.1-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, a 360-degree camera, connected car features and a HUD. The steering wheel is expected to remain unchanged and the integrated controls will continue.Under the hood, the facelifted Brezza is expected to continue with the familiar 1.5-litre petrol engine that produces 101 bhp and 137 Nm of torque. However, Maruti Suzuki may replace the existing five-speed manual gearbox with a new six-speed manual transmission. Additionally, select variants are also expected to get a 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine, although the company has not yet officially confirmed the full powertrain options.Maruti Suzuki has started accepting bookings for the SUV at a token amount of Rs 11,000. Once launched, the refreshed Brezza will continue to compete with rivals like Hyundai Venue, Tata Nexon, Mahindra XUV 3XO and more.
