^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:
