India’s popular compact SUV, the Maruti Brezza, has been spotted testing ahead of its 2026 update. The latest spy shots reveal important mechanical and feature upgrades, hinting at a mid-cycle refresh focused on improved drivability and technology.
The updated Brezza is expected to launch later in 2026.
🔧 Biggest Update – 6-Speed Manual Gearbox
One of the most important changes spotted is the introduction of a new 6-speed manual transmission.
Currently, the Brezza is offered with a 5-speed manual and a 6-speed automatic. The addition of a 6-speed manual could offer:
- Better highway cruising efficiency
- Improved fuel economy
- More refined gear shifts
- Lower engine stress at higher speeds
The engine is likely to continue with the familiar 1.5L K15C petrol engine with mild-hybrid tech.
📺 Larger Touchscreen Infotainment
Inside the cabin, the 2026 Brezza appears to feature a larger touchscreen infotainment system, replacing the current 9-inch unit.
Expected updates include:
- Bigger display (possibly 10+ inches)
- Wireless Android Auto & Apple CarPlay
- Updated UI and faster response
- Improved connected car features
This aligns the Brezza with newer Maruti models that are getting upgraded cabin tech.
🎨 Exterior Changes (Subtle Updates)
While the test mule remains partially camouflaged, visible changes seem minimal. Likely updates may include:
- Revised front grille design
- Updated alloy wheels
- Minor bumper tweaks
- Possible new colour options
Since this is not a full-generation change, styling revisions are expected to be subtle.
⚙ Engine & Performance (Expected)
The SUV will likely continue with:
- Engine: 1.5L K15C Smart Hybrid petrol
- Power: Around 103 PS
- Transmission: 6-speed manual (new), 6-speed automatic
- Fuel Type: Petrol
No diesel engine is expected.
📅 Expected Launch Timeline
The 2026 Maruti Brezza facelift is expected to launch in late 2026, with bookings likely to open closer to launch.
