2026 Maruti Brezza turbo petrol vs NA petrol: Differences explained

2026 Maruti Brezza turbo petrol vs NA petrol: Differences explained

The 2026 Maruti Suzuki Brezza has been launched in India with prices starting from Rs 7.40 lakh (ex-showroom). Among the additions Maruti has made to the 2026 Brezza is a 1.0-litre direct-injection turbo-petrol option, which is offered across the SUV’s lineup alongside the naturally aspirated petrol engine. However, some differences distinguish the turbo-petrol variants from the naturally aspirated petrol variants.

Turbo variants differentiate themselves with some red trims outside

Maruti is offering red exterior trims on the turbo-petrol variants of the Brezza, to differentiate them from the naturally aspirated petrol variants. These red trims, which seem to be aftermarket accessories, can be found on the grille, above the faux silver skid plate on the front and rear bumpers, and on wheel arches and door cladding. Furthermore, the rear quarter glass sports a ‘Turbo Boosterjet” decal, and the tailgate features a ‘Turbo’ badge.

Everything else, including the dual-pod headlights, LED DRLs, LED fog lamps, 16-inch alloy wheel design, silver roof rails and wraparound LED taillights, is the same on all powertrains. 

Interior design is unchanged across powertrain versions

Unlike the exterior, where the red trims, decals and badges are differentiators, the interior design of both naturally aspirated and turbo-petrol variants is identical. Both versions are offered with a black-and-brown cabin theme, a 3-spoke steering wheel, a 10.1-inch touchscreen infotainment system and analogue dials with a coloured multi-information display (MID). Even the menus on the MID are the same across the powertrain versions.

Turbo variants get more features in LXi, VXi and ZXi trims

The Brezza’s top-spec ZXi+ variant offers the same feature set across all powertrain options. However, in the lower LXi, VXi, and ZXi trims, the turbo-petrol variants come with additional equipment compared to the naturally aspirated petrol and CNG versions.

In the LXi trim, the turbo-petrol variants add a rear defogger, a height-adjustable driver’s seat, adjustable rear-seat headrests, and automatic climate control. In the VXi trim, the turbo-petrol variants further gain a reverse parking camera, electrically folding outside rearview mirrors (ORVMs), alloy wheels, and an exclusive Bluish Black exterior colour option. In the ZXi trim, the turbo-petrol variants receive a rear wiper and washer, two tweeters, cruise control, auto headlamps, blind spot warning, safe exit warning, and rear cross-traffic alert.

2026 Maruti Brezza turbo petrol vs NA petrol: Technical differences

The turbo-petrol engine lacks an automatic transmission option

Apart from the visual differences, there are some other technical differences too between the turbo-petrol and naturally aspirated petrol variants. The obvious ones are the differences in cubic capacity and the lack of a cylinder in the turbo unit compared to the naturally aspirated one. What the turbo version also lacks is an automatic gearbox, as this gearbox option is reserved for the naturally aspirated engine on the 2026 Brezza. Interestingly, the Brezza’s turbo-petrol engine is the same as that of the Fronx’s, but the latter is offered with a 6-speed automatic gearbox. Moreover, the turbo-petrol engine is not offered with a CNG option.

2026 Maruti Brezza: All that’s new over its predecessor

Maruti Brezza

The 2026 Maruti Brezza facelift brings several updates over the outgoing model to strengthen its position in the highly competitive mid-size SUV segment. The refreshed SUV borrows a couple of features from the Victoris, Maruti’s flagship Arena SUV, and also gains an additional engine option from the Fronx. Here’s a look at everything that’s new on the updated Brezza.

1. Turbo-petrol engine

Turbo-petrol engine

One of the highlights of the new Brezza is the addition of a turbo-petrol engine option. After the Fronx, the Brezza is the second SUV to get the brand’s 1-litre, 3-cylinder direct injection turbo-petrol motor, producing 110hp and 170Nm. The same unit, for reference, has been tuned to deliver outputs of 100hp and 147.6Nm in the Fronx.

2. 6-speed manual transmission

6-speed manual transmission

While the Fronx pairs a 5-speed manual transmission with its turbo-petrol engine, the Brezza opts for a 6-speed unit. Even, the 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol and CNG versions of the Arena SUV get a 6-speed manual transmission as standard, instead of the 5-speed unit on offer before.

3. Underbody CNG tank

Underbody CNG tank

After offering an underbody-mounted CNG tank with the Victoris, the carmaker has added the same to the Brezza. Unlike a conventional CNG cylinder placed in the boot, this arrangement frees up luggage space. However, the updated Brezza no longer comes with a spare wheel, regardless of the powertrain. Instead, it gets a puncture repair kit.

4. Larger 10.1 inch touchscreen

Larger 10.1 inch touchscreen

Another upgrade introduced with the Brezza facelift is a Victoris-like 10.1-inch touchscreen with a new UI/UX interface, replacing the previous 9-inch unit. However, the 4-speaker, 2-tweeter setup has been carried over in the updated SUV. 

5. Front ventilated seats

Front ventilated seats

With the 2026 Brezza facelift, Maruti has finally added front ventilated seats, a feature that was missing from the SUV despite being offered by rivals such as the Hyundai Venue, Tata Nexon, Skoda Kylaq and Kia Syros. The addition improves comfort for both the driver and front passenger. New colours for the ambient lights and leatherette seats have also been added.

6. New safety features

The 2026 Brezza facelift now gets a blind spot warning system, which alerts the driver with a visual warning when another vehicle is travelling in the blind spot. In addition to the blind spot warning system, Maruti has equipped the Brezza with a tyre pressure monitoring system and front parking sensors. The SUV also gets a rear cross-traffic alert, improving safety while reversing out of parking spaces. However, the Brezza still does not get an ADAS suite.

2026 Maruti Brezza scores 5-star Bharat NCAP rating

The 2026 Brezza facelift has undergone Bharat NCAP crash tests, where it secured a full 5-star safety rating. The pre-facelift version, however, was never tested by BNCAP. For those not in the know, the current-generation Brezza is based on the same Global-C platform as its predecessor, but Maruti now calls it the TECT platform. The previous-generation Brezza earned a 4-star Global NCAP crash safety rating.

The 2026 Maruti Brezza’s interior sees more meaningful updates than the exterior. The highlight is the 10.1-inch infotainment screen that’s also seen on the Victoris. It also adds ambient lighting, ventilated seats at the front and revised switchgear for the HVAC controls (also shared with the Victoris). There’s also use of new gloss-black trim materials on the dashboard and door pads, replacing the silver trim seen on the pre-facelift car. On the safety front, the Brezza now gets front parking sensors, and it is also expected to come with a Level 2 ADAS (advanced driver assistance systems) suite. The seats also get new leatherette upholstery, and as always, the Brezza remains generously spacious on the inside.

This is the first mid-lifecycle update for the Maruti Brezza since its second-generation model was introduced in 2022, and the updates on the outside are rather minimal. The grille design has been slightly reworked, and it gets a new dark chrome finish. The car also gets a revised bumper with repositioned fog lamps housed within triangular surrounds. The headlamps and the LED daytime running lamps (DRLs), however, remain unchanged. In profile, the only notable update is a new set of dual-tone alloy wheels and slightly revised body cladding, while the rear has remained largely unchanged. The turbo-petrol variants are further marked out by red accents on the outside.

While the LED headlamps with L-shaped DRLs have been carried over, the fog lamps have been positioned slightly upwards and sit in a new triangular housing. 

In profile, the lower sides of the doors feature new dual-tone cladding and the 16-inch alloy wheels have a fresh design. It’s at the rear where the 2026 Brezza does not see as many changes, as it gets the same tail-lamps and bumper design as before.

2026 Maruti Brezza scores 5-star Bharat NCAP rating

Bharat NCAP has released the crash test results of the 2026 Maruti Suzuki Brezza ahead of the compact SUV’s official launch tomorrow. The Brezza facelift has achieved a 5-star crash safety rating for both adult occupant protection (AOP) and child occupant protection (COP) tests, scoring 30.41/32 points and 43/49 points, respectively.

  1. The ZXI+ 1.5L 6AT variant of the upcoming Brezza was tested
  2. Test results apply to all variants of the Brezza facelift

2026 Maruti Brezza BNCAP adult occupant protection results (30.41/32 points)

Frontal offset deformable barrier test: 14.41/16 points; Side movable deformable barrier test: 16/16 points

In the frontal offset deformable barrier test, the driver’s head, neck, pelvis, thighs and feet received ‘good’ protection, while the chest and tibiae received ‘adequate’ protection. In the same test, all critical parts of the co-driver received ‘good’ protection, except the tibiae, which received ‘adequate’ protection.

In the side movable barrier and side pole impact tests, all critical parts of the passenger, including head, chest, abdomen and pelvis, received ‘good’ protection. In the side pole impact test (pole), it received a notable ‘OK’.

2026 Maruti Brezza BNCAP child occupant protection results (43/49 points)

Dynamic score: 24/24 points; CRS Installation score: 12/12 points; Vehicle assessment score: 7/13 points

For the COP tests, child seats of both the 18-month-old and 3-year-old dummies were set to a rearward direction. The test results suggest that both dummies scored a full 8 out of 8 points in the frontal and 4 out of 4 in the side crash test.

Although the 2026 Maruti Brezza scored full points for the dynamic score (24 out of 24) and CRS installation score (12 out of 12), it lost 6 points in the vehicle assessment score. As a result, the compact SUV scored 43 out of 49 points in the overall child occupant protection tests.

For the crash test, the 2026 Brezza’s ZXI+ 1.5L 6AT variant was tested, but the results apply to all other variants as well. The tested variant, Bharat NCAP suggests, is equipped with 6 airbags, electronic stability control (ESC), seat belt reminders on all seats, seatbelt pretensioners on the front-row seats and ISOFIX child seat anchorages on the rear outboard seats. 

Maruti Brezza facelift leaked ahead of launch

The updated Maruti Suzuki Brezza is one of the most anticipated new cars in the compact segment, and ahead of its launch on July 24, the new Brezza has been spied completely undisguised at a dealership stockyard. It gets subtle cosmetic updates on the outside, important feature upgrades on the inside, but most importantly, a brand-new engine option as well. 

  1. Brezza facelift to get new 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine 
  2. Interior gets new 10.1-inch touchscreen, ventilated seats, ambient lighting 
  3. Bookings for the new Brezza are already underway 

Maruti Suzuki Brezza facelift exterior and interior updates 

This is the first mid-lifecycle update for the Brezza since the second-generation model was introduced in 2022, and the updates on the outside and rather minimal. The grille design has been slightly reworked and it gets a new golden finish as opposed to the grey coloured grille on the current car. It also gets a revised bumper with repositioned fog lamps housed within triangular surrounds. The headlamps and the LED DRLs, however, remain unchanged. In profile, the only notable update includes a new set of dual-tone alloy wheels, while the rear has remained largely unchanged. 

The Brezza will get a larger 10.1-inch touchscreen and revised HVAC controls. 

The interior sees more meaningful updates, with the highlight being the 10.1-inch infotainment screen that’s also seen on the Victoris. It also adds ambient lighting, front ventilated seats and revised switchgear for the HVAC controls (also shared with the Victoris). There’s also use of new gloss-black trim materials or the dashboard and door pads. On the safety front, the Brezza now gets front parking sensors and it is also expected to come with LEVEL 2 ADAS suite. 

Maruti Suzuki Brezza new engine and specs 

The biggest update on the Brezza is the addition of a new engine option. It now gets the 1.0-litre Boosterjet turbo-petrol engine from the Fronx. This 3-cylinder engine is expected to produce 110hp and 170Nm, meaning it will come in a higher state if tune than what it is offered with on the Fronx. Transmission options, however, will be limited to just a 6-speed manual gearbox. Crucially, this engine will finally allow the Brezza to qualify for the sub-4m tax slab. 

Other upgrades will include new alloys, ambient lighting and ventilated front seats. 

The new 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine is expected to be offered alongside the existing 103hp, 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine. The CNG kit paired to this engine is also expected to continue, but it’s now expected to have the Victoris CNG-like underbody tank setup.

It will be interesting to see how Maruti prices the new Brezza. Despite the cosmetic and equipment upgrades, the 1.0-litre engine should help bring down the prices given that it finally qualifies for the sub-4m tax bracket. Whether it undercuts the existing Brezza or is priced roughly the same remains to be seen. For reference, the Brezza currently has an ex-showroom price of Rs 8.26 lakh to Rs 12.86 lakh. It will continue to take on rivals like the Hyundai Venue, Tata Nexon, Skoda Kylaq, Mahindra XUV 3XO, Kia Sonet and Syros.
