Full XUV 3XO prices & variants →Maruti Suzuki Brezza in short
Facelifted in July 2026 with a Rs 7.40 lakh entry price — notably for the new turbo, which Maruti has made the range's entry engine — the Brezza remains Maruti's sub-4-metre SUV workhorse and a perennial top-three seller. The big news is the 1.0L Boosterjet turbo-petrol option (from the Fronx) alongside the familiar 1.5L K15C and a new underbody dual-cylinder CNG kit that frees up boot space, plus front parking sensors, TPMS and Level 1 ADAS features like blind-spot warning and rear cross-traffic alert. It fights the Tata Nexon, Hyundai Venue, Kia Sonet, Kia Syros and Mahindra XUV 3XO, and its 5-star Bharat NCAP rating and strong resale keep it the segment's safe default.
