Maruti Suzuki Brezza is set to get an update soon, with several testing vehicles spotted on Indian roads in recent months. The SUV, which enters its second generation in 2022, looks set to get a comprehensive makeover as it moves further into its lifecycle. While the basic structure of the vehicle is expected to remain unchanged, the upcoming version may bring noticeable updates to its styling, equipment list and possibly some mechanical elements as well. Here’s a quick look at some of the major updates we can expect.
Maruti Suzuki Brezza Facelift : what to expect
As per the spy shots, the overall silhouette of the Brezza will remain largely the same. However, the front and rear are expected to receive significant styling revisions. The facelifted model will likely have a redesigned front bumper and a refreshed grille. Similar cosmetic changes are expected at the rear as well. Interestingly, despite the growing trend of connected tail lamps in new SUVs, the updated Brezza is not expected to adopt this design element. Other exterior highlights may include newly styled 16-inch alloy wheels, sleek LED headlamps with DRLs, roof rails and an integrated rear spoiler.
Inside the cabin, the general layout is likely to remain familiar, but Maruti Suzuki is expected to introduce small updates to freshen up the interior. These may include a redesigned center console, new upholstery and updated trim elements. The spy photos also hint at a larger touchscreen infotainment system than the current model. In terms of equipment, the SUV is expected to offer features like wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, connected car technology, wireless charging and a premium sound system. Other features likely to continue include a head-up display, cruise control, automatic climate control, ambient lighting, single-pane electric sunroof and ventilated front seats.
Maruti Suzuki Brezza facelift: Six-speed gearbox likely
On the mechanical side, the facelift may bring minor changes to the suspension aimed at improving ride comfort and handling. Recently a test mule was spotted with a 6-speed manual gearbox, which suggests that Maruti Suzuki may introduce an additional gear compared to the existing setup. The purpose of this change is probably to improve the gear ratio for smoother highway travel.While there is speculation about the possibility of the 1.0-litre three-cylinder BoosterJet turbo-petrol engine from the Maruti Suzuki Suzuki Brezza coming to the Brezza, there has been no official confirmation yet.For now, the SUV is expected to continue with the familiar 1.5-litre four-cylinder NA petrol engine that produces 103 PS of power and 137 Nm of torque. Transmission options are likely to include a new 6-speed manual and the existing 6-speed torque-converter automatic. The CNG version of the Brezza may also get the same underbody CNG tank setup.
