2022 Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza leaked, significant changes inside and out
The flurry of new Maruti Suzuki cars continues with the latest being the upcoming 2022 Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza facelift. The sub-four-metre SUV is set to be given a significant mid-life update next year and as these images suggest the Vitara Brezza will sport a much more aggressive look while the interior is also set to be heavily revised.
The generally boxy look of the Brezza is carried forward although the fascia has been be heavily reworked to sport a much more aggressive look. The grille is much wide and highlighted in gloss black, there is a higher bonnet line, sharper headlamps with new LED DRLs and darkened housings while the bumper has been heavily reworked to add a much more prominent airdam with more gloss-black details. The images show that the SUV will remain largely identical in profile, with the straightforward body panels and large doors. The rear is again significantly different with a reworked bootlid and bumpers, as evidenced by the new number plate placement. The tailamps are LED units that are now been widened and extend further into the body. A new set of alloy wheels should round off the changes.

On the inside, the 2022 Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza sees a new dashboard along with new upholstery and materials. Notable changes here are the new infotainment possibly with wireless Android Auto/Apple Carplay that was also seen in the recent Baleno leaks, while a sunroof has been added too. There is a new digital instrument cluster with some level of connected-car features as well as paddle shifters. Other than this the interior space and comfort is expected to remain unchanged. Safety features should be carried over from the current model.
2022 Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza engine, specifications
The new changes should increase dimensions of the Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza marginally, although the 2,500mm wheelbase should remain unchanged. The facelifted 2022 Vitara Brezza is expected to continue with the same 1.5-litre petrol engine option. This motor makes 105PS and 138Nm torque and gets the Smart Hybrid tech to go with it. The motor is paired with either a five-speed manual or four-speed auto, although the presence of paddle shifters suggests that the old AT may be dropped for a more modern unit. The fuel efficiency of the manual is 17.03 kmpl and AT (automatic with Maruti's smart hybrid) is 18.76 kmpl which should remain similar with the update. A CNG option may also be added to the lineup.
