Safety The Cornerstone of the 2025 Brezza
Safety is paramount in today’s automotive landscape, and Maruti Suzuki has responded by equipping the Brezza with a comprehensive suite of safety features. The most significant change is the standardization of six airbags across all variants, a move aimed at protecting all passengers, regardless of trim level.
Safety Upgrades
Six Airbags Standard: Front, side, and curtain airbags now come standard across all variants. This move addresses consumer demands for higher safety standards without having to upgrade to the premium models.
Enhanced Seat Belt System: The Brezza now features 3‑point seat belts for every passenger, with front seat belts that are adjustable in height. These improvements ensure better fit and protection for occupants of all sizes.
Additional Safety Conveniences: New features such as a rear centre armrest with cupholders and a 60:40 split rear seat provide improved comfort and safety for rear passengers.
Advanced Driver Assistance: Technologies such as electronic stability control (ESC), hill-hold assist, and a 360‑degree camera enhance both active and passive safety during city driving and highway cruising.
These comprehensive safety enhancements not only boost the vehicle’s Global NCAP ratings but also give buyers peace of mind, knowing that every journey is well-protected.
Performance & Powertrain
Under the hood, the Brezza continues to be powered by Maruti Suzuki’s reliable 1.5‑litre engine. However, the 2025 update brings subtle changes that result in improved efficiency and refined performance.
Updated Engine Specifications
Engine Type: The Brezza is equipped with a 1.5‑litre K15C petrol engine. In its updated form, the engine produces a maximum power of approximately 100.6 PS at 6000 rpm and a peak torque of 137.1 Nm at 4300 rpm. These figures reflect a minor power adjustment that results in a smoother driving experience.
Transmission Options: Buyers can choose between a 5‑speed manual transmission or a 6‑speed automatic (torque converter) transmission with paddle shifters. The automatic variant offers convenience in urban traffic while still maintaining an engaging drive.
Improved Fuel Efficiency: For manual variants, fuel efficiency has seen a modest improvement from 17.38 kmpl to 17.80 kmpl, while the automatic models deliver around 19.80 kmpl. Additionally, the CNG variant, which is popular in India, offers an impressive 25.51 km/kg. These enhancements not only contribute to lower running costs but also appeal to environmentally conscious buyers.
Mild-Hybrid and CNG Options
Maruti Suzuki continues to cater to varied consumer preferences by offering:
Mild-Hybrid Technology: The top-end variants incorporate a mild-hybrid system that supports smoother low-speed performance and better fuel economy.
CNG Variant: Recognized as the first compact SUV in India to offer a CNG option, the Brezza CNG delivers reliable performance and excellent mileage making it a practical choice for daily commuters.
This refined powertrain setup ensures that the Brezza remains competitive, blending efficiency with the performance expected from a modern SUV.
