What’s New?
The new Maruti Brezza retains the silhouette, but gets some cosmetic enhancements. This includes a new grille, revised front and rear bumpers, new headlamps and taillamps, and a new alloy. Apart from these, the overall design looks similar to the outgoing model.
One of the key highlights is the revision of CNG cylinder placement. Like the Victoris, the new Maruti Brezza gets the CNG Cylinder placed under the body; this will help to liberate more boot space.
