Inside, the 2020 Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza renovation is expected to get the updated SmartPlay Studio infotainment system, retouched upholstery, and possibly new feature additions as well. The big change though will come under the hood of the Vitara Brezza that is the 1.5-litre K-Series petrol engine which is BS6 compliant. The motor is already offered on the Ciaz, Ertiga and the XL6 that develops about 103 bhp and 138 Nm of peak torque.
The motor will come paired with a 5-speed manual transmission and possibly a 4-speed auto box. As per reports, the Vitara Brezza will not qualify for the small car taxation that limits the car length to under four metres and the engine capacity to 1.2-litres. Currently, the 1.3-litre BS4 DDiS diesel engine powers the Brezza that will be discontinued by March 2020. The new Vitara Brezza is soon to be launched at the Auto Expo and the price is expected to be around ₹9 to ₹11 lakhs.
