2026 Maruti Brezza Facelift Mileage Revealed: New Turbo Engine Surprises With Up to 26.90km/kg CNG Efficiency…
The facelifted Maruti Suzuki Brezza arrives with three powertrain choices, including a new 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine, a 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol motor and a CNG option with an underbody tank.
The 2026 Maruti Suzuki Brezza facelift has arrived with more than just a refreshed look. Alongside its updated styling and additional features, the popular sub-four-metre SUV now gets a new turbo-petrol engine, while its CNG version promises impressive fuel efficiency of up to 26.90km/kg.
The updated Brezza is available with three powertrain options, giving buyers a choice between turbo-petrol, naturally aspirated petrol and CNG. The biggest talking point, however, is the addition of the 1.0-litre Boosterjet turbo-petrol engine, which is borrowed from the Maruti Suzuki Fronx.
New 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine joins the lineup
The new 1.0-litre Boosterjet turbo-petrol engine produces 109bhp of power and 170Nm of torque. Unlike the other petrol engine options, this motor is available exclusively with a six-speed manual gearbox.

In the higher-spec ZXi and ZXi+ variants, the turbo-petrol Brezza delivers a claimed mileage of 19.96kmpl.
Meanwhile, the lower-spec LXi and VXi variants equipped with the same engine offer a slightly higher claimed efficiency of 20.47kmpl.
The addition of the turbocharged engine gives the Brezza a more performance-focused option while maintaining the practicality that has made the SUV popular among Indian buyers.
1.5-litre petrol engine continues
For buyers who prefer a naturally aspirated petrol engine, the facelifted Brezza continues with a 1.5-litre four-cylinder engine.
This engine produces 102bhp and 139Nm and is available with both a six-speed manual transmission and a torque-converter automatic gearbox.
The claimed mileage varies depending on the variant and transmission.
The LXi MT and VXi MT versions return a claimed fuel efficiency of 21.09kmpl.
The ZXi MT delivers 20.81kmpl, while the automatic versions offer a claimed mileage of 20.17kmpl across the VXi AT, ZXi AT and ZXi+ AT variants.
This engine is likely to remain an important choice for customers who prioritise a familiar petrol powertrain and the convenience of an automatic transmission.
CNG Brezza delivers the biggest mileage figure
The biggest mileage number in the 2026 Brezza lineup comes from the CNG variant.
The updated model now features an underbody CNG tank, and all three CNG variants — LXi MT, VXi MT and ZXi MT — offer a claimed fuel efficiency of 26.90km/kg.
That figure could make the CNG-powered Brezza particularly attractive to buyers who cover long distances regularly and are looking to keep running costs under control.
The use of an underbody CNG tank also represents a practical change, potentially helping the SUV retain greater luggage flexibility compared with CNG layouts that take up significant boot space.
What else is new on the 2026 Brezza?
The facelifted Maruti Suzuki Brezza also receives several other updates. The changes include tweaked exterior styling, new features and the addition of a six-speed manual gearbox across the available engine options.
The combination of refreshed design, multiple powertrain choices and improved practicality shows that Maruti Suzuki is looking to keep the Brezza competitive in India’s crowded compact SUV market.
The new turbo-petrol engine, in particular, could attract customers who want more punch from their compact SUV without moving into a larger vehicle category.
Brezza facelift review coming soon
While the mileage figures provide an early look at the updated SUV’s efficiency, real-world performance will ultimately determine how the new Brezza compares with its rivals.
A detailed review of the 2026 Maruti Brezza facelift is expected to provide more insight into the SUV’s driving experience, turbo-petrol performance, CNG practicality, ride quality and overall value.
For now, the headline figure belongs to the CNG version, with a claimed 26.90km/kg efficiency, while the new turbo-petrol engine adds a fresh performance angle to one of India’s most familiar compact SUVs.
With three powertrain choices and a broader mix of features, the facelifted Brezza appears ready to make another strong push in India’s fiercely competitive SUV market.
