Maruti Suzuki has taken the wraps off the Vitara Brezza facelift at the Auto Expo 2020. The updated sub-4m SUV features subtle cosmetic updates but the most significant change comes under the hood. Instead of the 1.3-litre diesel engine, it gets the Ciaz’ 1.5-litre petrol engine that makes 105PS and 138Nm, 15PS more but 62Nm less than older diesel engine. 

Where the pre-facelift Brezza was available with a 5-speed MT and a 5-speed AMT, the updated Brezza can be had with a 5-speed MT as well as a 4-speed AT. Out of the two available gearbox options, only the 4-speed AT is available with a mild hybrid system. Maruti claims a fuel efficiency figure of 17.03 kmpl for MT and 18.76kmpl for the AT variants. In comparison, the diesel-powered Vitara Brezza has a claimed mileage of 24.3kmpl, 6kmpl more than the new petrol unit.
