The competitive sub-four-meter SUV segment is preparing for a significant shake-up as the Maruti Suzuki Brezza facelift enters the spotlight. While Maruti Suzuki has not yet officially confirmed the Maruti Suzuki Brezza facelift launch date, industry sources and recent spy shots of camouflaged test mules suggest an arrival in the first half of 2026, with many pointing towards a February or March 2026 debut.
The update aims to refresh the popular SUV, which was last overhauled in 2022, ensuring it remains a top choice against rivals like the Tata Nexon and Kia Sonet.
Maruti Suzuki Brezza Facelift: Expected Launch and Price
The updated Brezza has been spotted testing in various locations, including the Gurgaon-NCR region and high-altitude terrains like Manali. The focus of this update is to integrate advanced safety tech and better space management for eco-friendly variants.
- Expected Launch Window: February – May 2026
- Estimated Starting Price: ₹8.50 Lakh – ₹14.50 Lakh (Ex-showroom)
- Retail Network: Maruti Suzuki Arena
Major Updates: ADAS and Cabin Enhancements
The 2026 Brezza facelift is expected to bring features previously reserved for higher-end models like the Grand Vitara. These updates focus on safety, convenience, and a more premium feel.
Performance and Reliable Powertrains
Under the hood, Maruti Suzuki is expected to stick with its tried-and-tested engine lineup. The focus remains on fuel efficiency and smooth drivability rather than drastic mechanical changes.
- Engine: 1.5-litre K15C Dualjet Petrol engine with Smart Hybrid technology.
- Power Output: 102 bhp and 137 Nm of torque.
- Transmission Options: 5-speed Manual and 6-speed Torque Converter Automatic with paddle shifters.
- Fuel Efficiency: Expected to offer 18–20 kmpl in petrol and over 25 km/kg in CNG mode.
Market Competition
The 2026 Brezza facelift will enter a crowded market. Its primary competition includes the Tata Nexon, which recently received a 5-star Bharat NCAP rating, and the feature-rich Kia Sonet. By adding Level 2 ADAS and solving the “CNG boot space” problem with an underbody tank (a feature recently seen in the Maruti Victoris), Maruti aims to regain its dominant position as the sub-compact SUV king.
