The Maruti Brezza facelift is due for a launch in a few days, and we are already seeing more and more leaks of the car. The current Brezza is a very practical compact SUV, with a good interior and reliable petrol engine. However, the Brezza is now feeling a bit outdated compared to its rivals. The latest leak shows details for the Base LXi variant of the upcoming Brezza facelift. Let’s dive deep into it.
What Can Be Seen?
Looking at the front, the base variant of the Brezza facelift is expected to feature a projector headlamp setup, a silver skid plate on the bumper, an updated grille, and a bumper design. Just like a typical Maruti base variant, it could have no fog lamps or any LED lighting upfront for the base variant.
On the side, it is expected to get steel wheels with wheel covers, possibly ORVMs with turn indicators, body coloured door handles, and a black B-pillar as well.
At the rear, the design is expected to be similar to the outgoing Brezza, with the same LED tail lamps, with the number plate housing in the boot, Brezza lettering between the tail lamps, and the Maruti logo. As this is the base variant, it is expected to have rear wipers and defoggers omitted.
Expected Features And Safety
The upcoming Brezza facelift base variant is expected to be a bare-bones version like previous Maruti cars, with manual AC, manual IRVM, all-four power windows, fixed rear headrests, and fabric seats, as likely seen in this leak.
The LXi variant may also lack the infotainment system, as well as steering-mounted controls. In terms of safety, it could have 6 airbags as standard, electronic stability control (ESC), traction control, ABS with EBD, three-point seat belts for all seats with reminders, and rear parking sensors.
