Imagine this: You’re stuck in traffic on a hot afternoon, sweating even with the AC on full blast, while your friend casually tells you his new SUV has ventilated seats and a massive touchscreen. That moment of “why not me?” is exactly what Maruti is trying to fix with the 2026 Maruti Brezza Facelift.
The Brezza has been India’s go-to sub-compact SUV for years — reliable, easy on fuel, and easy on the pocket. But lately, Tata Nexon, Hyundai Venue, and Mahindra XUV 3XO have been throwing serious punches. So Maruti is coming back stronger in mid-2026 with a proper upgrade.
Sharper Looks, Modern Vibe
The 2026 Maruti Brezza Facelift keeps the strong, upright stance that drivers love for that commanding road view. But now it looks cleaner and more premium:
- Slimmer black cladding on the sides
- New front grille inspired by the Grand Vitara
- Sleek connected LED tail lights with a full-width light bar at the back
It’s the kind of design that makes people turn their heads at the signal.
Inside – Finally Feels Worth the Money
Maruti listened to the complaints. The cabin is getting a big glow-up:
- Large 10.25-inch SmartPlay Pro+ touchscreen
- Ventilated front seats (a lifesaver in summer!)
- Six airbags as standard across all variants
- 360-degree camera
- Better Electronic Stability Program (ESP)
There’s even talk of a powered driver seat in higher variants — small things that make daily driving feel special.
Highway Comfort + Smart CNG
The biggest cheer from long-drive lovers? A brand-new 6-speed manual gearbox! The old 5-speed used to feel stressed above 100 km/h. The extra gear means lower RPMs, better mileage, and a much quieter cabin on the highway.
And for CNG buyers — this is the real game-changer. Maruti is moving the CNG tank under the floor, so you finally get a usable boot. Weekend trips with family and luggage? No problem now.
What’s New in 2026 Maruti Brezza Facelift

Maruti is not just facelifting the Brezza — they’re giving it the tools to fight the new generation of SUVs head-on. Reliability + better looks + modern features + smart CNG = a very strong package.
What do you think — will the 2026 Maruti Brezza Facelift make you upgrade or will you still pick the Nexon or XUV 3XO?
