2026 Maruti Brezza: Powertrain Options
The biggest mechanical update comes in the form of a new turbo-petrol engine.
It now gains a 1-litre turbo-petrol Boosterjet engine, which we have previously seen on the Fronx, aimed at buyers looking for stronger performance and quicker acceleration.
It is paired with a 6-speed manual transmission only, no automatic transmission sadly.
