Maruti Suzuki Brezza Now Comes with Six Airbags as Standard; Prices Hiked

Maruti Suzuki recently upgraded the Celerio hatchback by introducing six airbags as standard. The popular Brezza SUV has also followed suit, now featuring a host of safety enhancements as standard. For those unaware, the Brezza is built on the Global C platform. It boasts a four-star safety rating from Global NCAP. In addition to the six airbags, the SUV now includes a 60:40 split-folding rear seat as well as adjustable headrests. Other enhancements for the base variant include a three-point seatbelt for the rear centre, front seatbelts that can be adjusted for shoulder height, and a rear centre armrest with cup holders. Following these updates, the Maruti Suzuki Brezza now carries a higher price tag, with prices starting at Rs 8.69 lakh and going up to Rs 13.98 lakh. Both prices are ex-showroom figures. The LXi variant has seen a Rs 15,000 increase, while the VXI and ZXI variants have gone up by Rs 5,500 and Rs 11,500, respectively. However, the top-of-the-line ZXi+ variant remains at the same price.
