Maruti Suzuki has started testing the 2026 Brezza facelift on the Indian roads before it launches officially in the Indian market next year. The sub-4 metre compact SUV was spotted this time on the Manali highway. Manufacturers often test out their vehicles in different terrains to ensure they can perform in all kinds of conditions when they are launched. This might be one of the reasons why Maruti Suzuki was testing the Brezza facelift in high altitudes.
What do the new spy shots of the 2026 Maruti Suzuki Brezza facelift reveal?
The social post confirms that the updated Brezza will come with a new alloy wheel design, which should give a fresh look to the side profile. The test mule was also equipped with roof rails. As of now, we do not know whether they are functional or not. There are no other changes to the side profile.

Other cosmetic changes that we are expecting the 2026 Brezza to get are minor tweaks to the front and rear bumper. The design inspirations can come from the Victoris. The social post also confirms that there are no major changes to the interior of the Brezza.

{{/usCountry}}Having said that, we can expect the Brezza facelift to come with the new digital instrument cluster and steering wheel that the Victoris gets. Apart from this, there can also be a new touchscreen infotainment system borrowed, once again borrowed from the Victoris. A few other features that we hope Maruti Suzuki adds to the Brezza are Level 2 ADAS, ventilated seats, a panoramic sunroof and a powered driver seat.

What could be the mechanical changes to the 2026 Brezza facelift?
The post on Instagram also confirmed that the Brezza that was spotted was petrol-powered and not the CNG one. The 1.5-litre naturally aspirated engine produces 100 PS at 6,000 rpm and 137 Nm at 4,300 rpm. It also comes with a CNG powertrain on which the power and torque output fall to 87 PS at 5,500 rpm and 121 Nm at 4,200 rpm.
As standard, the Brezza comes with a 5-speed manual gearbox with the CNG as well as petrol powertrain. However, there is also a 6-speed torque converter automatic transmission available with the petrol engine.
At present, the CNG powertrain is equipped with a single CNG cylinder located in the boot, which reduces the available boot space. However, with the upcoming update, there is a potential for Maruti Suzuki to introduce dual-cylinder technology or an underbody cylinder, which could enhance the boot space.
