Maruti Suzuki is one of the most popular car companies in India, offering affordable, reliable and fuel efficient vehicles in every segment. In view of the increasing demand for SUVs and crossovers in the Indian market, the company is going to bring many important updates in 2026. These include Maruti Suzuki Fronx Hybrid, New Maruti Brezza.
The Front Hybrid is expected to be launched in late 2026 or early 2027, bringing the company's in-house series Strong Hybrid technology. It will use the 1.2 liter engine as a generator and be driven by an electric motor, which is likely to provide excellent mileage of up to 30-35 kmpl. At the same time, the new Brezza facelift can be launched around May 2026. Let us take a look at the information revealed so far about these two cars.
New Maruti Brezza
Maruti Brezza has been the king of the sub-compact SUV segment. Its facelift is expected to be launched around May 2026, with ex-showroom prices starting around ₹ 8.50 lakh. The car spotted during testing has new LED headlamps and taillamps, redesigned grille, new bumpers and updated alloy wheels.
The interior may feature a larger 10.1-inch infotainment screen, ventilated front seats, better quality materials and possibly a panoramic sunroof. The biggest update can come in the engine. Apart from the existing 1.5L petrol, there is a possibility of getting a 1.0L turbo petrol engine (with Frontx, about 100 PS power) and 6-speed manual/automatic gearbox. The CNG variant will come with underbody CNG tank, which will increase the space. Safety features like Level-2 ADAS are also expected. This update will make Brezza stronger than competitors like Hyundai Venue and Kia Sonet.
Maruti Frontx Facelift
The popularity of Front Crossover is continuously increasing. Its facelift and stronger hybrid version is going to be launched by the end of 2026. Hybrid badging has been seen in test mules. The new series hybrid system can be based on 1.2 liter petrol engine, which will give mileage of 30-35 kmpl or more. In some reports, there is a claim of up to 37 kmpl.
Features may include a larger touchscreen, minor design changes (new lights, grille), ADAS (level-2), ventilated seats and better interior updates. Flex-fuel variants (up to E85) may also arrive in 2026. Prices may increase slightly from the current ₹ 7-12 lakh range to ₹ 8-15 lakh (on-road). This update of the Franxx will attract the youth and mileage-conscious buyers.
Maruti is strengthening CNG, hybrid and turbo engine options through these updates. The focus in both cars is on safety, comfort and efficiency. The Brezza family will prove to be a better option for SUV buyers and the Frontex will be a better option for those looking for a stylish crossover. Launch dates and final specs will depend on the company's official announcement. If you are thinking of buying an SUV or crossover, then waiting for them can prove beneficial.
