Overview
- New images show a Brezza test mule fitted with emission-testing gear, indicating Maruti is trialing a fresh petrol setup rather than minor tuning of the current 1.5‑litre engine.
- Autocar India reports the 1.0‑litre Boosterjet turbo could join the range with a new six‑speed manual, while RushLane notes a 1.2‑litre naturally aspirated option is also being evaluated.
- India taxes sub‑4‑metre petrol cars with engines under 1.2 litres at about 18 percent GST, so a smaller engine could lower the entry price versus today’s 1.5‑litre Brezza that draws roughly 40 percent.
- The facelift is expected to add a 10.1‑inch touchscreen, a revised grille that appears to house a radar for possible driver assists, and an underfloor CNG tank that frees up boot space.
- GaadiWaadi’s reporting outlines a wider rollout that includes a seven‑seat YMC electric MPV targeted for late 2026 or early 2027 and facelifts for the Baleno and Fronx, with all three prototypes recently spotted testing in convoy.
