Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza received a 4-star rating at the Global NCAP in 2018. The car that was tested on this safety platform was available with only dual airbags. However, the brand has been recently working on the next generation Vitara Brezza. And, according to the sources, it will be coming up with six airbags and sunroof on offer.

2021 Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza

To begin with, the 2021 Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza will come with the same 1.5-litre four-cylinder petrol engine. For the information, currently, it is capable of producing 104BHP of power and a peak torque of 138Nm. To recall, it comes paired with a mild-hybrid powertrain. Just to precise, this hybrid powertrain will now be available with a more agile electric motor and an upgraded battery. Interestingly, the same five-speed manual gearbox will continue to serve this SUV. However, a new 6-speed AT gearbox is now expected to replace the older 4-speed unit.
