The data-facelifted Brezza has been spotted testing multiple times, and recent leaks reveal some major mechanical and tech upgrades, not just cosmetic tweaks. These updates aim to keep the Brezza competitive in the booming sub‑4m SUV segment.

⚙️ 1. All‑New 6‑Speed Manual Gearbox

One of the biggest mechanical changes spotted in test mules is a 6‑speed manual transmission — a first for Maruti Suzuki’s current lineup. This is a step up from the traditional 5‑speed manual used in the outgoing Brezza, and could improve:

• Highway cruising comfort
• Fuel economy at higher speeds
• Overall driving dynamics

So far, spy images show the distinctive 6‑speed gear pattern inside the cabin — a clear sign that this upgrade is close to production.

🔥 2. Turbo petrol Engine Expected

Alongside the new gearbox, the data-facelift is also likely to get a turbo‑petrol powertrain option — possibly a 1.0‑litre Boosterjet unit. This would be a first for the Brezza, which currently uses a naturally aspirated 1.5‑litre petrol engine.

Adding a turbo motor would:

• Enhance power and responsiveness
• Improve performance against competitors like the Hyundai Venue and Kia Sonet
• Potentially lower GST to 18 % (if engine displacement is ≤1.2 L), offering cost advantages for buyers

Note: maruti hasn’t officially confirmed this yet, but multiple leaks and discussions point towards a turbo petrol pairing with the new transmission.

📺 3. Bigger Infotainment Screen

Inside the cabin, the data-facelifted Brezza is expected to receive a larger touchscreen display — likely around 10.1 inches, up from the current ~9‑inch unit. This brings the interior in line with other modern SUVs and offers a more premium experience.

Additional interior enhancements may include:

• Ventilated seats
• Updated trims and upholstery
• Digital instrument cluster
• Connectivity upgrades like wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto

🎛️ 4. Exterior & Practical Upgrades

Spy shots also indicate subtle exterior tweaks, including:

• Redesigned alloy wheels
• Revised body cladding
• Refreshed bumper styling
  (camouflaged models make it hard to see full details)

For practicality, Brezza’s S‑CNG variant is likely to adopt a new underbody cng tank layout, which could free up boot space compared to the current setup.

📆 Launch Timeline & Expectations

While maruti Suzuki has not yet officially announced the data-facelift, multiple sightings and spy testings suggest that the 2026 Brezza data-facelift launch is imminent, possibly within mid‑2026.

Once launched, it will continue to go head‑to‑head with rivals such as:

• Hyundai Venue
• Tata Nexon
• Kia Sonet
• Mahindra XUV 3XO
