More safety features:
Maruti has also made several changes to the Brezza’s packaging and aesthetics. Safety features such as dual front airbags, ABS with EBD, ISOFIX child seat anchors, rear parking sensors and high speed alert are now standard across the range. This step is taken to comply with the Indian government's ruling, which requires dual front airbags and rear parking sensors to be fitted on every car sold in India, starting from July 2019.
The rest of the equipment list is unchanged and the Brezza continues to get features such as automatic climate control, 7-inch SmartPlay infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, cruise control and twin-pod instrument cluster with variable mood lighting in the top variant.
