Maruti Brezza Test & Review: New Features, Real world Mileage Test, What Buyers should know in 2025.
Introduction The Brezza Indians Had Been Waiting For
Indian middle-class families wanted to buy a car with which they can be confident. When Maruti introduced the Brezza first time that was not another sub-compact SUV, the car provided the confidence to the Indian middle-class families. It appeared like a daring SUV yet it was not beyond the budget. Jump to 2025 and Maruti has made the Brezza even sleeker without making any noise. The recent update is not all about being cosmetically attractive, instead, it now signifies what the Indian buyer truly desires, feasible technology, great mileage, and actual worth.
Here, in this article, we get to go deep in knowing the 2025 Maruti Brezza, not by which the spec sheet is read, but in real roads, in our daily commutes in the city, the long drives on the highway, and the weekend getaways which history has shown us that matters most to Indian families.

Which visual changes have been made on the 2025 Brezza?
Brezza 2025 update does not shout out loud, and it does not attempt to stand out of the crowd either. Maruti has not indulged itself to change designs. Rather it has concentrated on maturity. The bonnet is a bit beefier, the grille is also slicker with a little more chrome touch, the LED headlights with DRLs are also sharper.
The top ZXi+ version is the one where the SUV stands out the most due to the colour of the exteriors this time with the dual-tone colour scheme particularly the Brave Khaki with a black roof and the Exuberant Blue. The profile is almost identical to side, except 16-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels.
What is really great is the balance: it appears SUV-ish instead of trying to act as a full-size off roader. That is what people need in their metros such as Delhi or Mumbai, a well sized confident car.
Interior Feel is all about being practical, familiar and at long last, premium.
Sliding into the new Brezza talks of a mix of functionality and class. Ar mmm, not a European luxury car as one feels like, but quite Indian premium, which is what counts, after all.
The dashboard has become more of a layered kind with soft-touch parts on the ZXi+ version.
It has a flat-bottomed leather-clad steering wheel.
The 9-inch SmartPlay Pro+ infotainment system has become wireless and quicker.
The rear seats are even a pleasant surprise to take long rides on and their legroom is prolific.
What is really impressive is that this car has been oriented so much to Indian families. Multi-charging points, rear air-conditioner vents and 60:40 split back seats - it seems that someone at Maruti actually bothered to study how Indians use their vehicles.
Power (Petrol Only)
Time to get to the finest point, how is the 2025 Brezza doing on Indian roads?
It also has the same 1.5L K15C Smart Hybrid petrol engine but it has been refined by Maruti. The power is not changed, 103 PS, still, the delivery of a torque is smoother, in city traffic.
You get a choice of two transmissions
5-manual gears box
Torque converter automatic six-speed
Real World Experience
We drove Brezza to Agra, through Yamuna Expressway, and this is what we thought of it:
City driving: The manual model becomes rather sensitive in the low range. It is simple to escape through congested areas and gridlocks.
Highway: The 6th gear (automatic) lets the engine cruise easily at a speed of 100 km/h.
Hill Roads: Not a beast indeed, 138Nm of torque and a well trimmed down weight makes it climb alright.
This is a car that is not intended to racers. It is created to be used by people who need assured, loose, and steady performance.
Mileage Tested: Does It Carry Its weight?
The new Brezza is advertised by Maruti to give up to 20.15 km/l (Manual) and 19.80 km/l (Automatic).
What then had we got?
Driving Mode Manual Mileage Automatic Mileage
City (AC On) 14.2km/l 12.8km/l
Highway (AC On) 18.6 km/l 17.2 km/l
Summed (Real Use) 16.3 km/l 15.1 km/l
It is a real world tested data with 3 passengers and the back of the car full of luggage. They are very good figures of a petrol Sue car of this size, considering the current petrol prices.
That Which Counts As Features, Not Simply Gimmicks
Maruti is not in the business of trying to weigh you down with the useless futuristic gestures. The Brezza offers you what you need rather than what you will not use.
Important Specifications of ZXi+ Version
Wireless CarPlay Wireless Android auto
Auto Lamps, Headlamps & Wipers
6 Airbags
Electric Sunroof (first in Brezza)
Head-Up Display
360-degree Camera View
Cruise Control
Audio
All of that makes your everyday commutes, way not only safer but more connected and convenient. No frills - only basics but done well.
Safety- Designed to Indian roads
In Indian car market, safety has now turned out to be a serious discussion. And the 2025 Brezza does not bother.
It sits on Suzuki Global C Platform making it stiffer and grounded.
Receives 6 airbags in the highest version.
AT variants are drastically equipped with ESP (Electronic Stability Program) and Hill Hold Assist.
There are also ISOFIX child seat mounts.
The braking is well adjusted. The ABS + EBD activates by instinct and the SUV does not lose its kool in sudden tests of brakes at 80 km/h.
On road Price Breakup and EMI (Delhi)
Variant Ex-Showroom in INR On-Road (Approx) in INR EMI (5 yrs @9.5%)
LXi (Petrol) Rs. 8.34 Lakhs Rs. 9.55 Lakhs Rs. 17800 /month
VXi 9.69 lakh 11.05 lakh 20600/month
ZXi 11.04 Lakh 12.65 Lakh 23,900/per month
ZXi+ AT (Top) 13,04 Lakh 14,30 Lakh 27,400/month
To judge about the value, the VXi and ZXi models may be regarded as the most advantageous considering the feature set. ZXi+ AT is excellent, yet unless you really require an automatic, ZXi manual is the one to get.
Conclusion Does it Worth buying in 2025?
Either you want a down-to-earth, secure, robust, and effective SUV that costs less than 15 lakhs, the 2025 Brezza is a good decision, but it is one of the safest choices on Indian roads at the moment.
It might not have bling like Korean competitors or tongue lashing turbo engines like new ones but what it provides you with is
Confidence in the after sales service
Mileage that you can live with in the real world
Sensible enough to be comfortable and not merely to show off families
The maintenance costs that do not scare you
In this era of vision over reality where most of the brands are looking at their products as mere showpieces; the Maruti Brezza continues to be about good solid, practical and rational engineering.
