New Delhi: Maruti Suzuki has revealed the official fuel efficiency figures for the 2026 Brezza facelift, highlighting improved mileage across its petrol, turbo-petrol and CNG powertrain options. The updated compact SUV now offers three engine choices, with the CNG variant delivering the highest claimed efficiency of 26.90 km/kg, while the naturally aspirated petrol and newly introduced turbo-petrol engines also register improved fuel economy over the outgoing model.
The new Brezza was recently launched with updated styling, additional features and a new 1.0-litre Boosterjet turbo-petrol engine, expanding the SUV’s appeal to buyers seeking both performance and efficiency.
CNG remains the most fuel-efficient option
The 1.5-litre petrol-CNG variant continues to be the most economical choice in the Brezza range.
Maruti Suzuki claims the updated CNG version returns 26.90 km/kg, making it one of the most fuel-efficient compact SUVs currently on sale in India. The revised efficiency figure is higher than the previous model, aided by engine refinements and the new underbody-mounted CNG tank, which also frees up additional boot space.
Naturally aspirated petrol gets better mileage
The standard 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine has also become more efficient.
Depending on the transmission option, the petrol-powered Brezza now delivers a claimed mileage of up to 21.09 kmpl, an improvement over the outgoing version. The engine continues to cater to buyers looking for a balance between everyday drivability, affordability and lower running costs.
Turbo-petrol balances performance and efficiency
The biggest mechanical update for the 2026 Brezza is the introduction of the 1.0-litre Boosterjet turbo-petrol engine.
The new three-cylinder direct-injection engine develops 110 hp and 170 Nm of torque, offering significantly stronger performance than the naturally aspirated petrol unit. Despite the added power, Maruti Suzuki claims fuel efficiency of up to 20.47 kmpl for the turbo-manual variants, making it a practical option for buyers seeking spirited performance without sacrificing economy.
Multiple transmission choices
The updated Brezza is available with a wider choice of transmissions.
The naturally aspirated petrol engine can be paired with either a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic, while the turbo-petrol engine is offered with a six-speed manual transmission. The CNG version continues with a manual gearbox. Maruti has focused on improving efficiency across all combinations through revised engine calibration and drivetrain optimisation.
Efficiency complements major updates
The improved mileage figures accompany a host of upgrades introduced with the facelift.
The SUV features revised front styling, new alloy wheels, a larger touchscreen infotainment system, ventilated front seats, connected car technology, six airbags as standard, enhanced ADAS features on higher variants and an updated cabin. These additions are aimed at keeping the Brezza competitive in the highly contested compact SUV segment.
Rivals in the compact SUV segment
The 2026 Maruti Brezza continues to compete with rivals such as the Tata Nexon, Hyundai Venue, Kia Sonet, Mahindra XUV 3XO and Skoda Kylaq.
With the addition of a turbo-petrol engine and improved fuel efficiency across the range, Maruti Suzuki hopes to strengthen the Brezza’s position among buyers looking for a combination of performance, practicality and low running costs.
Conclusion
The 2026 Maruti Suzuki Brezza facelift combines improved fuel efficiency with updated styling, enhanced technology and expanded powertrain options. Whether buyers prioritise maximum economy with the CNG variant, balanced efficiency with the naturally aspirated petrol or stronger performance from the new turbo-petrol engine, the refreshed Brezza offers a broader choice than before while remaining one of the most fuel-efficient compact SUVs in its class
