Maruti Breeza : The Maruti Brezza has been a game changer in the sub-4-meter SUV segment since its launch.
Crafted for Indian families looking for utility, mileage and style, the Brezza has been a good urban and rural companion alike.
For its latest update, Maruti has concentrated on endowing the Brezza with a more premium appeal, modern tech and improved drive quality — all of which doesn’t compromise the brand’s key calling cards: reliability, low running costs and a wide service network.
Let’s take a closer look at what makes the Brezza so appealing and if it’s still relevant in a crowded SUV market 2025.
Urban SUV Concept with Practical Form and Function
The Maruti Brezza now gets a more aggressive and a more premium look.
The entirely boxy and SUV inspired looks would continue, but with crisper lines — such as a sharper set of LED headlamps, new set of DRLs, a more modern set of alloy wheels, and a chrome accented grille.
With an upright stance and squared-off wheel arches it has an air of ruggedness, but it has compact dimensions too, perfect for fitting in and out of spaces in tight city streets.
At the rear, it gets LED tail lamps, a chrome strip running across the boot, and a faux skid plate – all contributing to the sporty story.
It’s another tough, but not over designed car, walking the balance between practical and stylish.
Cabin Comfort and Features
Get into the new Brezza, and you’ll right away sense a quantum jump up in design and finish.
The dual-tone dash, leather-wrapped steering wheel (only in the top versions), and better seat cushioning lend the cabin a more upmarket air.
Soft feel items, and improved quality plastic contribute to both visual and physical enhancements.
Spacious: In space, the Brezza easily fits four adults and a little one. There’s good space in the back for legs and that 328-litre boot will accommodate weekend suitcases or shopping bags comfortably.
The seating position is upright and the windows are big, providing good visibility that comes in handy when you’re stuck in traffic.
On the tech front, the Brezza is more feature rich now than it was. Inside, it boasts 9-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, electric sunroof, wireless charging, cruise control and, a head-up display.
The cluster is mix of analog followed by digital MID, while information is easy to read on the move.
Engine and Driving Experience
Maruti has equipped the Brezza with a 1.5L K15C Smart Hybrid petrol engine, which makes about 103 PS and 137 Nm.
Granted the readings don’t sound especially high, but they are designed to provide a nice linear delivery of power that makes city run-abouts or light highway cruising fun.
The mild-hybrid tech assists with fuel economy, particularly around town.
Transmission choices on offer will be a 5-speed manual and a 6-speed automatic with paddle shifters.
The suspension is set up for a comfortable ride, absorbing potholes and uneven roads with little trouble.
Light steering helps with steering in a narrow lane or a parking lot.
Safety and Efficiency
The Brezza gets safety equipment like 6 airbags, ABS with EBD, ESP, Hill Hold and rear parking sensors along with a 360-degree camera (on top trims). It has scored well on crash tests, adding to buyers’ confidence.
In terms of efficiency, the petrol manual does almost 20 kmpl and automatic does around 18 kmpl – great numbers for a compact SUV and that too when it gets hybrid assistance.
Pros:
Smooth and efficient engine with mild hybrid tech
Better cabin quality and more features
Sleek SUV presence, but small enough for the city
Maruti’s wide service reach, low maintenance cost
Very good resale value at used car market
Cons:
Lack of diesel engine option that some buyers demand
Not the most muscular SUV in its segment
Boot space rivals that of many opponents
Interior decor still a bit stodgy despite strides in that area
Maruti Breeza: Conclusion
The Maruti Brezza is still the compact SUV it always was – a car that is quite simply, everything a typical Indian family of four wants: it’s practical, does the job, it’s comfortable, efficient and low on maintanence and low on matter-of-fact human burden too.
It may not be the most exciting to drive or luxurious to sit in, but it has got the basics covered and backed by some of the best after sales service service support from Maruti.
For customers seeking a reliable urban SUV with real value the Brezza remains one of the cleverest choices.
