Maruti Suzuki has omitted Smart Hybrid System for the Manual variants leaving only the Automatic variants with this system. It’s worth noting that the CNG variants doesn’t come with Smart Hybrid System.
At the same time, Maruti Suzuki is offering three-point seatbelts for all the five passengers as standard across all the variants enhancing the safety of it’s people. With the deletion of features, and one standard feature, Maruti Suzuki hasn’t change the pricing of the Brezza SUV, it continues to start at Rs. 8.29 lakh for the base LXI variant.

The 2023 Maruti Brezza rivals the Kia Sonet, Hyundai Venue, Nissan Magnite, Renault Kiger, Mahindra XUV300, Maruti Fronx, and Tata Nexon.
