Looking for a compact SUV that balances family needs, pocket-friendly mileage, and now, top-notch safety? The crowd-favourite Maruti Suzuki Brezza has just received a massive update for 2025, making it one of the most value-for-money packages in the Indian market.
Whether you are a daily commuter or a weekend traveler, here is everything you need to know about the new Brezza—from its “Hot and Techy” features to the latest safety upgrades.
Badi Khabar: Safety Ab Standard! (The Big Safety Update)
The biggest news for 2025 is that Maruti Suzuki has taken passenger safety seriously.
- 6 Airbags for Everyone: Previously limited to the top ZXi+ variants, 6 airbags are now standard across all variants (LXi, VXi, ZXi, and ZXi+).
- Seatbelt Upgrades: Every passenger now gets 3-point seatbelts, and the front seats come with height-adjustable belts.
- Crash Rating: The previous generation Brezza already held a respectable 4-star Global NCAP rating. With these new additions and the car being submitted for the Bharat NCAP (BNCAP), expectations for a 5-star safety rating are high,.
Engine & Mileage: Power aur Savings Ka Combo
The Brezza continues to run on the reliable 1.5L Advanced K-Series Dual Jet, Dual VVT Petrol Engine.
- Power: It churns out roughly 103 HP and 137 Nm of torque, providing a smooth, refined drive without the “jerky” feeling found in some turbo engines,.
- Mileage (Petrol): You can expect around 17.38 kmpl for manual and up to 19.80 kmpl for the automatic variants,.
- CNG Option: For those who want maximum savings, the Brezza CNG delivers an impressive 25.51 km/kg, making it a wallet-friendly SUV.
Top “Hot and Techy” Features
Maruti hasn’t held back on features, making the Brezza feel premium on the inside:
- Electric Sunroof: Yes, even mid-variants get this highly demanded feature.
- Heads-Up Display (HUD): Drivers can see speed and navigation alerts on a glass panel without taking their eyes off the road.
- 360-Degree Camera: Makes parking in tight Indian streets a breeze.
- SmartPlay Pro+: A 9-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Arkamys sound system for music lovers.
- Wireless Charging & Cooled Glovebox: Added convenience for long trips.
Price: Kya Hoga Pocket Pe Asar?
With the addition of standard 6 airbags and other safety features, the prices have seen a slight hike.
- Base Model (LXi): Starts at approximately ₹8.69 Lakh (ex-showroom).
- Top Model (ZXi+ AT DT): Goes up to ₹14.14 Lakh (ex-showroom).
- Price Hike: The base LXi variant price has increased by about ₹15,000, while mid-variants see a hike of roughly ₹5,500 to ₹11,500. Considering the added safety of 6 airbags, this is a very small price to pay.
Brezza vs. Nexon: Kaun Jeetega?
Users often compare the Brezza with the Tata Nexon.
- Choose Brezza if: You want a refined, vibration-free 4-cylinder engine, better real-world mileage, reliable after-sales service, and a smooth automatic (Torque Converter) experience,.
- Choose Nexon if: You strictly want a diesel engine or prefer a stiffer suspension setup.
Future Launch: 2026 Facelift & e-Vitara
If you are willing to wait, Maruti has exciting plans:
- e-Vitara (EV): Maruti’s first electric SUV is expected to launch in January 2025 with a range of over 500 km.
- Brezza Facelift: A design refresh for the Brezza is expected around mid-2026, featuring slimmer headlamps and connected tail lights.
Verdict: Is it worth buying?
Absolutely! With the 2025 update, the Brezza removes its only major criticism—safety features in lower variants. It is spacious, reliable, feature-loaded, and now safer than ever. It remains the “no-nonsense” choice for Indian families.
