The new Maruti Brezza has been making all the buzz in the market at the moment as it is one of the most anticipated compact SUVs to make its appearance on June 30.
The base LXi variant of the 2022 Maruti Brezza has been leaked on the internet a day before the launch. Brezza is among the highest-selling product in its segment. Maruti aims to cement that commanding position at the top of the podium as it introduces a ton of modern amenities to the new compact SUV. This would spice up the segment after Hyundai introduced the 2022 Venue just a few days ago. Let us check out what the base model of the new Brezza will look like.

2022 Maruti Brezza LXi Leaked
The video has been uploaded on YouTube with a walk-around tour of the LXi trim. One could clearly see that the front end has been modernised but there is not a lot of chrome. Being the base model, the front grille is finished in a glossy black material, the bumper and the skid plate are black plastic, there are no fog lamps, and the headlamps look standard with no projector LEDs. On the sides, there is a rather broad black body cladding on the door panels and around the wheel arches, it has steel wheels, but the black side pillars offer that floating roof effect. At the rear, the base version also comes with LED taillamps, but there is no rear defogger or wiper.

2022 Maruti Brezza LXi – Interior and Features
On the inside, the cabin looks rather basic. There are no textures on the dashboard or other components. Everything is made up of black plastic including the AC vents, door switches, door panels, centre console, steering wheel, etc. The HVAC controls, in particular, are what we used to see in older cars. Interestingly, the buttons for Traction Control look functional indicating that Maruti might offer it across the range. The ignition switch is traditional using the key. There is no infotainment system but there is a place for it should one decide to install an aftermarket unit. All in all, the cabin is quite basic, as one would expect from the base model.

Specs
The exact specifications of the powertrains will be revealed tomorrow at the launch event itself. Nonetheless, we are able to see the Hybrid badge on the boot gate of even this base LXi variant indicating that it will most likely feature the updated 1.5-litre K-Series Dualjet Dual-VVT petrol engine with Smart Hybrid technology which is also seen on the XL6 and Ertiga. This engine makes 103 hp and 137 Nm of peak power and torque. The transmission options include a 5-speed manual and a 6-speed torque converter automatic transmission. The expected price range of the new Brezza is Rs 8-12 lakh, ex-showroom.
