2026 Maruti Brezza Variant-wise Features Detailed; Which Variant Should You Pick?
The new Brezza is offered across four variants, but there’s a few key changes to what they offer
It is no secret that Maruti’s Brezza has been the preferred choice of a lot of subcompact SUV buyers, and almost four years to launch, the carmaker has now introduced a facelift that brings in styling tweaks, a few new features and some key powertrain changes as well.
The new Brezza is offered in four broad variants named LXI, VXI, ZXI and ZXI Plus, and while the lower trims offer a great balance of affordability and performance, the top-spec trims get some modern equipment on offer. If you want to take a look at each one of them in detail, here is a detailed guide:

In terms of comfort and conveniences, even the base LXI variant comes fairly well-loaded with features like electrically-adjustable ORVMs, keyless entry, height-adjustable driver seat and an adjustable steering column.

The ZXI variant again comes across as excellent value-for-money, with only select non-essential features reserved for the top ZXI Plus trim.

^Non-turbo variants get 4-speaker unit
-
In terms of the infotainment package, the base LXI trim misses out on a sound system altogether, and you will have to add it as an official or aftermarket accessory.
-
The mid-spec trims get the same 7-inch touchscreen unit as the pre-facelift version. This system does the job, but misses out on several advanced features.
-
One of the highlights of the new Brezza is the larger 10.1-inch touchscreen infotainment system, borrowed from the Victoris. However, this is restricted to the top-spec ZXI Plus trim.

This facelift also adds select Level 1 ADAS functions, which are available from the ZXI trim onwards.
-
For crash safety ratings, the new Brezza carries a 5-star rating from Bharat NCAP.
Powertrain
Big changes in this iteration of the SUV have come in the form of a brand-new 1-litre turbo-petrol engine and an underbody CNG setup. The 5-speed manual gearbox in the pre-facelift car has also been swapped for an upgraded 6-speed unit. You can check out the new Brezza’s specifications below:
