Maruti Suzuki has launched the all-new ‘Hot and Techy’ Brezza in the Indian market. The brand has been teasing the SUV for quite some time, and now it is finally here. The 2022 Maruti Suzuki Brezza will also see a change to its name. The brand has decided to drop the ‘Vitara’ moniker. With all the new technology and features on offer, the brand says the new Brezza is a ‘Technophile’s Dream’ and H.O.T. – High On Technology.

The all-new Brezza will be available in three dual-tone options and six single-tone.

Meanwhile, the dual-tone options are – Sizzling Red and Black, Khaki Brave and White and Splendid Silver and Black.

On the outside, the Brezza looks much more modern than the old model. It features a more upright stance and sharper styling. At the front, the 2022 Brezza gets a new twin-projector headlight setup and a new LED DRL signature. The LED DRL also doubles up as the side-turn indicator. Sitting between the headlights is a new grille design with chrome accents. On the sides, we see the new dual-tone alloy wheels and the more upright stance. At the rear, the car gets new slim LED taillights which have a wraparound design. Between the taillights sits the chrome Brezza lettering.
On the inside, it sports a new design and many new features. The highlight features on the inside include ambient lighting, a heads-up display, paddle shifters for the automatic version and a wireless charging dock. The brand also equipped the 2022 Brezza with an electric sunroof. Maruti Suzuki says this was one of the most requested features. The Brezza will also get a 9-inch SmartPlay Pro+ infotainment system with an HD display. The system features ARKAMYS-powered sound acoustic tuning through ‘Surround Sense’. The Suzuki Connect telematics solution will also enable over 40 connected features. Customers can access these features through the Suzuki Connect App and Alexa Skill.
Powering the 2022 Brezza will be the 1.5-litre K15C petrol engine. The engine also features smart hybrid technology. The motor makes 102 HP of power and 136.8 Nm of torque. Gearbox options will include a 5-speed manual and a 6-speed torque converter automatic. Thus, this is the same engine and gearbox combination we also see in the Ertiga and XL6 MPVs. The 2022 Brezza will return a fuel efficiency of up to 20.15 kmpl. At the same time, the automatic version is rated at 19.80 kmpl.
