Maruti Suzuki Brezza Marks 10th Anniversary in India

Maruti Suzuki India has announced that the Brezza compact SUV has completed ten years in the country. The car, currently in its second generation, is expected to receive a mid-cycle update, as hinted at by multiple recent spy shots. Although there is no official confirmation, the spy images suggest that the updated SUV could come with a 6-speed manual gearbox, potentially making it the first Maruti Suzuki to feature this setup.

That said, since its introduction in 2016, the Brezza has remained one of the most preferred options in the compact SUV segment, which, according to Maruti Suzuki, now contributes nearly 31% to the overall passenger vehicle industry. The SUV is recognised as the country’s  No.1 model in its segment and has consistently featured among the top 10 best-selling cars for the past decade. It is powered by a 1.5-litre petrol unit paired with the brand’s Progressive Smart Hybrid technology. Buyers can opt for either a 5-speed manual or a 6-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters.

Speaking on this milestone, Partho Banerjee, Senior Executive Officer, Marketing & Sales, Maruti Suzuki India Limited, said, 'The Brezza story is one that has empowered the SUV era in India. Conceptualised, designed, and developed with new-age customer aspirations, the Brezza’s authentic SUV DNA and feature-loaded cabin have constantly redefined customer expectations with each new model launch. As we reflect on its journey through the decade on its 10th anniversary, it’s worth noting that the Brezza has not just consistently retained its position as India’s most loved SUV; it has also steadily expanded the market share for the entire compact SUV segment to 31% contribution to today.'

He also added, 'The Brezza name today is synonymous with SUVs and continues to command strong brand consideration, with 56% of customers considering it as their predetermined choice. We at Maruti Suzuki are deeply thankful to our customers for making the Brezza their SUV of choice for a decade. We remain committed to offering our customers the perfect blend of style, technology, performance, and appeal that wins brand love.'
