Maruti Suzuki said it partially passed West Asia crisis-related cost increases to customers. It launched the Brezza from ₹7.39 lakh with updated turbo and CNG powertrains, while citing encouraging e-Vitara demand despite production constraints and nearly 12,000 installed chargers.

Why this matters

The move follows Maruti Suzuki's planned vehicle price rise of up to ₹30,000 from August 2026, alongside Brezza updates including a turbo-petrol 2026 showcase and a new 1.0-litre turbo variant.
