The most consequential change to the Brezza is not its revised styling or larger touchscreen, but the addition of a 1.0-liter three-cylinder turbo-petrol engine. Faisal Khan identifies the new Boosterjet option as producing 110 PS and 170 Nm and pairs it exclusively with a six-speed manual, while the existing 1.5-liter naturally aspirated four-cylinder continues with manual and automatic choices. More importantly, he explains why the smaller engine matters beyond performance: its displacement allows the sub-four-meter Brezza to fall into a more favorable taxation category than the 1.5-liter version. That context makes the powertrain change substantially more meaningful than simply adding another engine to the range.
This is explicitly a preview rather than a driving review, and Khan is careful not to pretend otherwise. He says his opinions are embargoed and promises a full review after he can discuss how the vehicle drives. That restraint is appropriate, but it also limits what viewers can learn about the headline turbo engine. There is no assessment of acceleration, turbo lag, refinement, fuel economy, gearing, clutch behavior, or whether 170 Nm materially improves the Brezza's performance. The mechanical specifications and tax implications are useful, but buyers interested primarily in the new powertrain will still need the later road test.
The exterior changes are comparatively modest and efficiently covered. Khan points out the new grille and bumper, repositioned fog lamps, mildly revised alloy wheels, dual-tone cladding, numerous red accents, Boosterjet badging, and three additional color choices. Headlights and tail lamps remain largely unchanged, and he specifically notes the continued absence of LED indicators and reverse lights. The walkthrough makes clear that this is a facelift rather than a fundamental redesign, without spending excessive time trying to inflate small cosmetic revisions into major changes.
Inside, the update is more substantial. Ventilated front seats, leather upholstery, 64-color ambient lighting, front parking sensors, a cooled wireless charging pad, revised trim, and a PM2.5 filtration system give the facelift several tangible improvements. The 10.1-inch SmartPlay Pro X infotainment system replaces the previous 9-inch unit and is described as bringing a new interface, built-in Alexa, downloadable apps, navigation, expanded Suzuki Connect functionality, and emergency assistance. The camera system also gains additional viewing modes and a 3D view. Khan moves quickly through these additions, but the breadth of coverage makes the video useful for existing Brezza shoppers trying to identify exactly what has changed.
Not every revision is an upgrade, and the video deserves credit for identifying deletions alongside additions. The rear middle passenger still lacks a headrest, a hook behind the driver's seat has disappeared, and, most significantly, the spare wheel has been removed. Khan attributes that last decision to cost cutting, though he frames it as his interpretation rather than demonstrating Maruti Suzuki's reasoning. He also notes that the climate-control display has migrated from its own dedicated screen into the central infotainment display, a change that is described without exploring whether it makes everyday operation more or less convenient.
Safety receives meaningful attention, although some claims would benefit from more explanation. Khan says the Brezza has received a five-star Bharat NCAP rating, compared with an earlier four-star result, and identifies six airbags as standard along with blind-spot warning, lane-change alert, rear cross-traffic alert, and safe-exit warning. He also distinguishes the vehicle's platform from Maruti Suzuki's Heartect architecture. These are potentially important buying considerations, but the rapid presentation leaves little room for discussing test conditions, trim applicability, or how the newly listed assistance systems operate in practice.
The presentation is energetic and information-dense, but the commercial material is unusually intrusive for such a short preview. A lengthy perfume promotion arrives almost immediately after the powertrain introduction, complete with product claims, discount instructions, delivery availability, and another mention near the end. Once the vehicle walkthrough begins, however, Khan maintains a brisk pace and covers an impressive number of changes without much repetition. The result works well as a first look at the facelift's equipment and specifications, but the absence of driving impressions means it cannot yet answer the most interesting question raised by the update: whether the turbo engine actually makes the Brezza meaningfully better on the road.
Pros
- Clearly explains the new 1.0-liter turbo engine, its 110 PS and 170 Nm outputs, six-speed manual pairing, and the taxation significance of its smaller displacement.
- Thoroughly catalogs exterior and cabin changes, including ventilated seats, front parking sensors, cooled wireless charging, ambient lighting, air filtration, and revised materials.
- The larger infotainment system, connectivity additions, emergency assistance, and upgraded camera functionality are covered in useful detail.
- Safety additions and the claimed five-star Bharat NCAP result receive attention rather than being buried beneath cosmetic features.
- Deleted equipment, including the spare wheel and rear-seat hook, is identified alongside the upgrades.
- Khan respects the embargo and avoids presenting withheld driving impressions as conclusions.
Cons
- The headline turbo engine is not driven or evaluated, leaving performance, refinement, gearing, efficiency, and overall suitability unanswered.
- The extended perfume advertisement interrupts the video almost immediately after its most important technical introduction.
- The suggestion that removing the spare wheel is cost cutting is plausible but not established within the video.
- Safety changes and the Bharat NCAP result are presented quickly without enough detail to put the rating or assistance features into context.
- Moving climate information into the touchscreen and retaining no rear-center headrest are noted but receive little practical evaluation.
As a preview, this is a useful and unusually comprehensive inventory of what Maruti Suzuki has changed, with the turbo engine's tax advantage, substantial cabin technology upgrades, added safety equipment, and less welcome equipment deletions all clearly identified. The embargo necessarily prevents the video from determining whether its biggest change also produces the biggest improvement, while the heavy early sponsorship distracts from an otherwise efficient walkthrough; buyers will get plenty of specification-level information here, but the real verdict belongs to the promised road test.
