The 2022 Maruti Suzuki Brezza will sport HUD, Single Pane Electric Sunroof and 360 Degree Camera
Maruti Suzuki Brezza, once the highest selling SUV in India, has now been pushed a bit down. Competition from various other models such as the Nexon, Venue and Sonet, in the same segment, has caused lower sales for the Brezza. This has resulted in Maruti getting an all new Brezza, with more features than ever before.
In the words of Maruti, the new Brezza is – Youthful and energetic design with a commanding SUV stance | Unique, exciting and impressive interiors with intelligent technology | Electric Sunroof | Powered by Next-Gen Smart Hybrid K-Series Engine | Driven by 6-Speed Automatic Transmission with Paddle Shifters | Enhanced Safety with 6 airbags and ESP.

2022 Maruti Brezza Design
Even as the new Brezza retains its boxy styling seen on its earlier counterpart, there are several changes to set it apart. For starters, the 2022 Brezza gets an updated front grille and a new front bumper design. It also sports a silver skid plate, J shaped DRLs and headlamps now receive arrow shaped inserts with chrome accents. Fog lamps get smaller housing and design changes to the rear include a revised boot lid, new bumpers and tail lamp. The 2022 Maruti Brezza will ride on new dual tone 16 inch alloy wheels with a swirl pattern.
Maruti Brezza will borrow some features from the new Baleno and Ertiga. It will get a Heads-up display unit (a first in segment feature), an electric sunroof, 360 degree parking camera and a free standing 9 inch SmartPlay Pro infotainment unit with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity. Maruti Suzuki is also set to offer connected car technology – Suzuki Connect on the new Brezza which will come in with multiple connected features and support for Amazon Alexa.
Revised seats in a dark colour scheme, AC vents positioned lower on the dashboard, ventilated seats, new instrument cluster and a premium sound system will also be a part of the features seen on the new Brezza. The current Brezza missed out completely on a sunroof. This is a highly demanded feature among buyers today and hence Maruti Suzuki has fitted the 2022 Brezza with an electrically operated, single pane sunroof.
