2022 Maruti Suzuki Brezza launched, complete with SUV-loads of features

Maruti Suzuki on Thursday officially launched the 2022 Brezza in the Indian car market at a starting price of ₹7.99 lakh (ex-showroom). With over eight lakh units sold since Maruti Suzuki Brezza was first launched here back in 2016, the sub-compact SUV has been a firm favourite in its segment even though it has also had to face newer rivals in recent times. On the back of a younger design on the outside and a feature-rich cabin, however, the latest Brezza is looking at tightening its grip over the crown in the segment now with over 45,000 bookings already in the bag.

The latest Brezza sports new LED light units and a completely re-worked front grille.

The Brezza is taking a clear and unequivocal aim at a younger car-buying audience that has been leaning in favour of sub-compact SUVs more than towards any other segment in recent times. While options may be galore, Maruti Suzuki Brezza does benefit from being an early entrant here and one that is quite reliable as well. Bookings for the Brezza were opened earlier this month and the company claims it has already received a solid response.

Maruti Suzuki Brezza design highlights:

The latest Brezza has undergone signficant changes to its exterior styling. The face, for instance, gets an all-new grille with LED lighting units on either side. The alloy design has been updated and the wheel arches have been reworked upon to lend the vehicle a more of an SUV-ish appearance than before.

Over at the rear, the LED tail light design has been updated to make it more appealing while the Brezza badge is placed prominently on the trunk.
