2020 Maruti Brezza – To get a minor facelift

The 2020 Maruti Brezza will continue with the image of being the best selling SUV in the Maruti lineup. This car was previously available with only diesel. Now when Maruti has decided to do away with the diesel engine, there was speculation of Maruti to discontinued this vehicle. All these speculations have been debarred with the emergence of new spy shots of the 2020 Maruti Brezza. You can take a look at these spy shots ahead in the article.

2020 Maruti Brezza Launch

The launch of the 2020 Maruti Brezza will be around the deadline of the BS6 emissions norms. Maruti already has the chassis and the engine for the vehicle. This gives them an upper hand over other carmakers to launch their vehicles for these new emissions norms. The decision of the company to discontinue diesel has been a bummer but they have replaced all the diesel engines with their hybrid power train. This car will launch by February 2020

2020 Maruti Brezza Price

The price of the current Brezza is 7.80 lakhs to 10.98 lakhs (ex-showroom). This will change under the wake of BS6 compliance. The company will sell the car in the price bracket of 8 to 11 lakhs. The pricing of the Maruti Brezza was for diesel. This new pricing will be for a petrol variant and hence there won’t be much of a difference.

2020 Maruti Brezza Engine

The engine on this vehicle will be the 1.5 litre SHVS engine which does duty on the Ciaz. This is a micro-hybrid set up and has proved its worth in other cars. The Hybrid functionality gives it more economical and fills in for the initial lag between the engagement of the clutch and the drivetrain. This engine generates a power of 105 bhp and 225 Nm of torque. This engine on the Brezza is also called K15B. A 5-speed gearbox will be mated to it in the manual variant. The vehicle will also get AMT variant which will be with a 4-speed torque converter.

2020 Maruti Brezza Mileage

Mileage will be the biggest concern on this car. Preciously when there was a diesel engine it gave a mileage of 24 km/l. The new petrol engine is bigger than the previous diesel but it is powered with a micro-hybrid system. So commenting on the mileage of the vehicle will be difficult right now.

2020 Maruti Brezza Exterior

The exterior of the vehicle has not changed majorly. The headlamps seem a bit more rounded. The grill will get some of the chrome slats. This will be paired with the chrome skid plate. The ORVM will get turn indicators. The rear of the vehicle doesn’t seem much different. The chrome badging seems to have retained. On comparing the car with the older car there doesn’t seem to be have any major changes. This vehicle will get LED day time running lights as well as other lamps will be LED.

2020 Maruti Brezza Safety 

This vehicle gets ABS along with the EBD. There are dual airbags in the front. The vehicle is expected to have curtain airbags. The Safety of this vehicle is weak and should be imporved. The structural integrity exists. 

Global NCAP crash tested the Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza sub-4-meter SUV at 64 kmph in a front offset test in an ADAC crash facility in Germany. The Vitara Brezza has been designed and developed in India and is available only in the diesel variant with manual and automatic transmission options. The Vitara Brezza scored 4 stars on front adult occupant safety and scored 2 stars on rear child occupant safety.

• Blazing red

• Cerulean Blue

The top model ZXi+ will come with dual-tone colour option as well. It will also get wider tyres.

2020 Maruti Brezza Competition

Tata Nexon, Honda WR-V and the Ford Ecosport were the three biggest threats for the Maruti Brezza petrol. The Honda WR-V has been gaining a good amount of market share. But the biggest problem will be the Hyundai Venue. The Hyundai is the new entrant and it has been getting a good push for its petrol engine and features on offer. From the Tiago, Tata has gotten a good number of petrol engine buyers and the same continues on the Tigor too. The Nexon might be the third product that should have good sales of petrol engine too.
