New-Gen Maruti Brezza Details Leaked
Source
According to our dealership sources, Maruti will ditch the current 1.5-litre NA petrol engine in the new-generation Brezza and introduce a duo of 1.2-litre petrol engines. They claim that a 1.2-litre turbo petrol – which will be a new engine and a 1.2-litre, 3-cylinder NA petrol engine from the Swift and Dzire to do its duty on the new Brezza.
There will also be a CNG powertrain paired with the 1.2-litre NA petrol engine. While there aren’t major details like power or torque, we expect the 1.2-litre turbo petrol engine to be more powerful than the 1.5-litre non-turbo mill. In fact, having a 1.2-litre engine will help Maruti save around Rs 1 to Rs 1.5 lakh per model in manufacturing costs through tax savings alone.
Apart from that, some early spyshots also revealed the Maruti Brezza with a 6-speed MT. This same unit could be paired with the new turbo petrol mill. However, the NA petrol engine could come with a 5-speed MT and an automatic torque converter gearbox.
Moreover, having a 1.2-litre, 3-cylinder, NA petrol engine also makes us believe that Maruti could plan to include its series hybrid with its compact SUV in the near future. But this is not guaranteed yet.

But we expect features like a panoramic sunroof, a new infotainment unit, and a digital driver’s display to be part of the package. Another key highlight will be the inclusion of an underbody CNG kit with this updated compact SUV.
