The Maruti Suzuki Brezza has long been one of India’s most successful compact SUVs, dominating the segment with its strong performance, reliability, and wide customer trust. However, competition has intensified in recent years—especially with the Tata Nexon, Hyundai Venue, and Mahindra XUV 3XO becoming feature-rich and more appealing to modern buyers.
Now, fresh spy shots confirm that the new-gen Maruti Suzuki Brezza (2026) is finally in development, undergoing testing on Indian roads. While Maruti Suzuki has not revealed official details yet, the next-gen Brezza must bring major upgrades to reclaim its position as the top compact SUV.
Here’s a detailed look at the features and improvements we expect from the upcoming Brezza.
In today’s compact SUV market, a single-pane sunroof is no longer a premium feature—it’s basic. Competitors like the Hyundai Venue, Kia Sonet, and Mahindra XUV 3XO already offer panoramic sunroofs, making them more appealing to younger buyers.
For the 2026 Brezza to stay competitive, Maruti Suzuki needs to introduce a large panoramic sunroof that enhances cabin spaciousness and adds a premium feel.
Maruti Suzuki dominates the CNG segment, but the Brezza CNG suffers from limited boot space due to the conventional tank placement.
Inspired by the Maruti Suzuki Victoris, the new Brezza could benefit greatly from:
Either of these solutions would significantly improve practicality while retaining Maruti’s proven CNG efficiency.
As India becomes more safety-conscious, even compact SUVs are adopting ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems). Maruti Suzuki has faced criticism for limited safety features in the past, but the Victoris has shown that the brand is ready for change.
We expect the 2026 Brezza to offer Level-2 ADAS, including:
Adding ADAS could make Brezza more appealing to urban families and tech-savvy buyers.
With rivals offering highly feature-loaded cabins, consumers now expect more comfort features even in compact SUVs. The current Brezza misses out on several modern amenities.
The next-gen Brezza should introduce:
These upgrades can significantly enhance long-drive comfort and make the Brezza feel more premium.

One of the biggest expected upgrades is the introduction of a strong-hybrid engine, similar to what Toyota and Maruti offer in their bigger SUVs.
A hybrid powertrain would:
Maruti Suzuki may still retain the petrol + CNG options, but the hybrid system could become a game-changer in the segment.
Based on market trends and customer expectations, the 2026 model may also include:
With competitors raising the bar every year, Maruti Suzuki must ensure the new Brezza is packed with value.
The new-gen Maruti Suzuki Brezza is one of the most anticipated compact SUVs of 2026. With buyers expecting premium features, hybrid technology, stronger safety, and modern design, Maruti has a significant chance to redefine the segment once again.
If the company successfully delivers upgrades like a panoramic sunroof, Level-2 ADAS, improved CNG practicality, and a hybrid engine, the 2026 Brezza could easily reclaim the top spot in India’s compact SUV market.
