Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza 2025, now simply called the Maruti Brezza in most markets, is a refreshed compact SUV that combines modern styling, advanced technology, and fuel efficiency, making it a top choice in India’s sub-4-meter SUV segment. Priced from ₹8.69 lakh to ₹14.14 lakh (ex-showroom), it offers a claimed mileage of up to 20 kmpl and competes with the Tata Nexon, Hyundai Venue, and Mahindra XUV 3XO. The 2025 update brings a digital console, LED headlamps, and premium interiors, enhancing its appeal for urban families and young buyers. Here’s a detailed look at what it offers.
Bold and Modern Design
The 2025 Maruti Brezza features a bold, updated design with a sharper front fascia. Key exterior highlights include:
- Dual LED projector headlamps with L-shaped LED DRLs and LED fog lamps for a premium look.
- Redesigned chrome grille and chunkier body cladding for a rugged SUV stance.
- Wrap-around LED tail lamps with thick black surrounds, adding character to the rear.
- 16-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels and a shark fin antenna for a sporty edge.
Available in 10 vibrant colors, including Sizzling Red with Bluish Black Roof, Brave Khaki with Arctic White Roof, and Splendid Silver, it offers three dual-tone options. The 3,995mm length, 1,790mm width, 1,685mm height, and 200mm ground clearance ensure a commanding road presence and suitability for Indian roads.
Efficient 1.5L Petrol and CNG Powertrain
The Brezza 2025 is powered by a BS6-compliant 1.5-litre K15C petrol engine, delivering 101.6 bhp and 136.8 Nm of torque. It offers two transmission options:
- 5-speed manual: 17.38 kmpl (non-hybrid) or 19.89 kmpl (mild-hybrid).
- 6-speed automatic (torque converter): 19.80 kmpl (mild-hybrid).
The CNG variants, available with a 5-speed manual, produce 86.6 bhp and 121.5 Nm, delivering an impressive 25.51 km/kg. Real-world mileage averages 17–18 kmpl (petrol, city), 19–20 kmpl (petrol, highway), and 23–25 km/kg (CNG). The 48-litre fuel tank (55-litre for CNG) ensures a decent range, though the CNG tank reduces boot space from 328 litres. The engine’s low-end torque suits city driving, but mid-range performance lacks excitement for spirited drives.
Premium Interiors and Digital Console
The 2025 Brezza’s cabin is a significant upgrade, offering a premium dual-tone black-and-brown interior with silver accents:
- 9-inch SmartPlay Pro+ touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
- 4.2-inch digital driver’s display (top variants) with real-time mileage, gear position, and vehicle stats.
- Heads-up display (HUD), electric sunroof, 360-degree camera, and ambient lighting for a luxurious feel.
- Automatic climate control, push-button start, and cruise control enhance convenience.
- 60:40 split rear seats with flip-and-fold functionality for flexible cargo space.
While the cabin feels airy and spacious, lower plastic quality and cramped rear seating for three are drawbacks. The 328-litre boot is practical but smaller than some rivals.
Advanced Safety Features
Safety is a highlight, with the Brezza earning a 4-star Global NCAP rating in its previous iteration and now offering:
- 6 airbags as standard across all variants (2025 update).
- ABS with EBD, electronic stability program (ESP), and hill-hold assist.
- Suzuki TECT platform for crash energy absorption.
- 360-degree camera, ISOFIX mounts, and speed-sensing door locks.
However, it lacks advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) offered by some competitors.
Ride and Handling
Built on Suzuki’s Global C platform, the Brezza weighs around 1,150 kg, offering a balanced ride. The suspension (MacPherson strut front, torsion beam rear) handles bumps well, making it ideal for city and highway use. The light steering and 5.2-meter turning radius ensure easy maneuverability, though high-speed stability could be better. The 215/60 R16 tires provide decent grip, and the disc-drum brake setup with ABS offers reliable stopping power.
Competitive Pricing
The Brezza 2025 is priced from ₹8.69 lakh to ₹14.14 lakh (ex-showroom), with on-road prices in Delhi ranging from ₹9.73 lakh to ₹16.5 lakh. EMI starts at ₹19,403/month (60 months, 9.8% interest). Discounts up to ₹30,000 were offered during the 2024 festive season, subject to dealership availability.

User Feedback
Owners praise the Brezza’s fuel efficiency, low maintenance (₹3,000–5,000 per service), and Maruti’s extensive service network. The updated interiors and safety upgrades are well-received, but some criticize the average interior material quality, laggy infotainment, and lack of a diesel or turbo-petrol option. The CNG variant’s reduced boot space and the engine’s modest highway performance are also noted drawbacks.
Final Verdict
The Maruti Suzuki Brezza 2025 is a well-rounded compact SUV with a premium cabin, LED headlamps, a digital console, and up to 20 kmpl mileage, starting at ₹8.69 lakh. Its 6-airbag standard safety, spacious interiors, and reliable performance make it ideal for urban families. While it lacks ADAS and a punchier engine, its value-for-money pricing and Maruti’s service network keep it ahead of rivals like the Tata Nexon and Hyundai Venue. For buyers seeking a practical, efficient SUV, the Brezza 2025 is a top pick.
