Maruti Brezza 2022 launched in India: Key highlights
The 2022 Maruti Suzuki Brezza has been launched in the Indian car market. The updated Maruti Suzuki Brezza packs a long list of exterior design updates while now also offering a number of new cabin features inside.

Vitara Brezza to Brezza
The model was initially showcased at the 2016 Auto Expo in Greater Noida. Instantly becoming the talk of the event, the Vitara Brezza was subsequently launched amid much fanfare.
