New Maruti Suzuki Brezza LXI - Base Model Features & Review
The base LXI variant of the Maruti Suzuki Brezza SUV only comes with the 1.5L mild-hybrid petrol engine and a manual transmission and carries an ex-showroom price tag of Rs. 7.99 lakh. The most notable features of the new Brezza’s LXI base model are:
- Halogen projector headlamps
- Day/night inside mirror
- Internally-adjustable outside mirrors
- Remote central locking
- Dead pedal
- 16-inch steel wheel with covers
- Shark fin antenna
- Flat bottom steering
- Tilt steering
- All power windows
- Rear AC vents
- ISOFIX
- Hill-start assist
- LED tail lamps
- Black outside mirrors
- Body-coloured door handles and bumpers

Considering the ex-showroom price, the base variant doesn’t get several must-have features like:
- Music system
- Auto AC
- Power mirrors
- Steering-mounted controls
- Rear defogger and washer wiper
- Height-adjustable driver seat
Although the base LXI variant doesn’t get some important features, we’ll suggest buying it and accessorising it from the aftermarket. The next VXI variant is quite expensive for the features it adds and offers poor value for money.

2022 Arena Brezza LXI vs VXI Variant - Price, Feature Comparison
The VXI variant is available with a manual as well as an automatic transmission. It costs Rs. 9.47 lakh and Rs. 10.97 lakh (ex-showroom) with the manual and automatic transmissions, respectively. The VXI petrol-manual is Rs. 1.48 lakh pricier than the lower LXI variant while the automatic adds another Rs. 1.50 lakh for the convenience of 2-pedal driving.
The VXI variant gets the following additional notable features over the base LXI variant:
- Rear defogger
- 7-inch touchscreen
- 4 speakers
- Android Auto and Apple Carplay
- Steering-mounted controls
- Power folding mirrors
- Auto AC
- Height-adjustable driver seat
- Chrome inside door handles
Even with the VXI variant, you might miss the following features:
- Front armrest
- Rear armrest
- Rear parcel tray

- Split rear seatbacks

|
While the VXI variant gets a few extra features, it still misses out on some more critical features. Moreover, it offers extremely poor value for money for the incremental cost over the LXI variant. So, it’s better to either stretch your budget for a higher variant or buy the base LXI variant and add aftermarket accessories.

Considering the asking price of the ZXI variant, you might miss a couple of features like a front armrest and a cooled storage. Other than that, the ZXI variant somewhat justifies the cost over the lower variants with the additional features. It’s our top recommended variant for Brezza buyers for its acceptable value for money and a fairly balanced set of features.

Besides some safety and functional features, the ZXI Plus variant mostly adds good-to-have features. On the value front though, the ZXI Plus justifies the jump over the ZXI and it’s worth buying if you want some of these features. For most Brezza buyers, though, the ZXI will suffice, which remains our top recommendation.

Which Variant Of The Maruti Suzuki Brezza Petrol Should You Buy?
The 2022 Maruti Brezza’s VXI variant is quite expensive for the features it adds over the LXI variant. So, we’ll suggest buying the LXI variant and adding accessories to it instead of buying the VXI, which offers poor value for money. If you want the VXI’s features, then consider stretching your budget to accommodate the ZXI. While the ZXI variant also doesn’t completely justify the incremental cost over the base LXI variant, it offers much better value than the VXI variant. ZXI is our top recommended variant for Brezza buyers. From there, the ZXI Plus also has a decent value-for-money score, but not enough must-have features to warrant an upgrade. If you find the features of the ZXI Plus variant compelling enough, then you can consider buying it over the ZXI.

Just like the Brezza petrol-manual, the Brezza automatic’s VXI variant is expensive and lacks a few important features too. So, consider stretching your budget for the ZXI trim as it offers much better value for money over the VXI automatic. If you want the fully-loaded ZXI Plus variant, then the ZXI Plus also offers a decent value for money and is worth buying. It’s worth noting that the automatic transmission itself carries a premium of Rs. 1.50 lakh over the manual’s ex-showroom price. So, you’re paying a higher premium than what we expect for the convenience of automatic transmission.

What Are The Engine Specifications Of The Maruti Suzuki Brezza Petrol?
Among B2-segment’s non-turbo petrol SUVs, the Brezza has the biggest displacement of 1.5L and it naturally has best power and torque figures as well. While offering better performance, the Brezza’s 1.5L mild-hybrid engine also promises better efficiency of almost 20kmpl.

*Estimated
The Brezza’s non-turbo petrol engine has trouble competing with turbo petrol engines. The turbo petrol engines offer far better torque output for a wider RPM range to provide easier drivability at low to mid-range RPMs. in terms of power, the smaller 1.0L turbo petrol engines have no trouble matching or beating the Brezza’s 103PS figure. Even in terms of mileage, the Magnite and Kiger turbo petrol-manual narrowly beat the Brezza’s fuel efficiency figure. However, with the automatic, the Brezza is the clear winner in the segment despite a power sapping torque converter automatic transmission. Speaking of automatic, the new 2022 Brezza also gets a new 6-speed torque converter automatic, which replaces the older 4-speed automatic.
