Maruti Brezza Now With 6 Airbags
Maruti Suzuki has listened to customer demand and made a significant safety upgrade to the popular Maruti Brezza. Following the successful introduction of 6 airbags as standard on the Celerio, Maruti has now extended this crucial safety feature across the entire Maruti Brezza lineup. This means every Brezza now comes equipped with 6 airbags and 3-point seatbelts for all occupants, enhancing passenger protection. Previously awarded a 4-star rating by the Global NCAP, the Brezza is expected to achieve even higher safety scores with these enhancements. This proactive move by Maruti Suzuki demonstrates its commitment to passenger safety by responding to customer feedback and finally shedding the not-so-glamorous image of not keeping safety at its forefront.
Maruti Suzuki Brezza offers a well-rounded package with a peppy petrol engine with the option of a fuel-efficient CNG variant but more on this later. As for the safety suite, it now comes adorned with six airbags now standard across the range, complemented by features like ESP, hill-hold assist, and a 360-degree camera. Inside, a 9-inch touchscreen, a semi-digital instrument cluster, automatic climate control, a sunroof, and more adds to the overall comfort for the occupants.
Powertrain: No Diesel But Gets A CNG!
The Brezza, ditching diesel for a petrol-focused approach, cleverly offers a petrol+CNG option. Under the hood lies a 1.5-liter K-Series petrol engine, churning out 103 PS and 137 Nm of torque. Switching to CNG mode, power slightly dips to 86 PS with 121.5 Nm, a trade-off well worth it considering the improved fuel efficiency. With a claimed 19.80 kmpl in petrol mode and 25.51 km/kg in CNG mode, it strikes a balance between performance and economy.
Verdict
This silent update is one of the most crucial in the sense that Maruti is adressing the customer feedback that asked for more safety in their vehicles. While the Brezza is already a 4 star rated vehicles from the Global NCAP, this upgrade potentially makes it a candidate for yet another 5 star rating after the Dzire.
