Maruti Suzuki is gearing up to launch the facelifted Brezza in India, and fresh spy shots of its camouflaged test mule have now surfaced online, suggesting a notable mechanical upgrade – a 6-speed manual gearbox. Notably, India’s largest carmaker currently does not offer a 6-speed manual gearbox in its lineup. The now-discontinued S-Cross 1.6-litre diesel was among the few Maruti Suzukis in India to feature a 6-speed manual. Therefore, if the updated Brezza debuts with this gearbox, it will become the first model in the brand’s current portfolio to offer the setup, marking a shift from the widely used 5-speed manual and AMT options seen in models such as the Dzire, Baleno, and Fronx.

Other features, such as ventilated and powered seats, and a digital instrument cluster, could also be on the cards.
Meanwhile, existing amenities such as a sunroof, 360-degree camera, automatic climate control, and head-up display are likely to be retained.
