2026 Maruti Brezza Teased Ahead Of Launch – Bookings Officially Open Maruti Suzuki has officially teased the new Brezza for the first time ahead of its launch on 24th July 2026. The company simultaneously announced that bookings are now open, marking the debut of the first major update for the second-generation Brezza since its 2022 launch. Customers can reserve the vehicle at authorized dealerships or online by paying a booking fee of Rs 11,000. Speaking about the announcement, Mr. Partho Banerjee, Senior Executive Officer, Marketing & Sales, Maruti Suzuki India Limited, highlighted the Brezza’s decade-long legacy. Since its 2016 introduction, the model has become India’s highest-selling compact SUV, with over 1.4 million customers trusting its performance. Banerjee emphasized that the 2026 update represents a fusion of customer feedback and innovation, promising to elevate the vehicle’s appeal. The facelift is expected to introduce significant mechanical and interior upgrades. A key change is the addition of Maruti Suzuki’s 1.0-litre Boosterjet turbo-petrol engine, already used in the Fronx model. This engine delivers 100 PS and 147.6 Nm of torque, paired with either a 5-speed manual or 6-speed automatic transmission. The existing 1.5-litre K15C Smart Hybrid petrol engine will also remain in the lineup. The CNG variant is set to see a practicality upgrade, with an underbody-mounted cylinder replacing the current boot-mounted tank. This change is expected to free up luggage space while improving the vehicle’s aesthetics. Design modifications include mild cosmetic revisions such as updated front and rear bumpers, refreshed lighting elements, and a new alloy wheel design. The cabin will feature revised upholstery, new trim finishes, and additional comfort features. Expected equipment includes a 10.#tata_nexon #maruti_suzuki #brezza #partho_banerjee #hyundai_venue
Tata Motors to Hike Commercial Vehicle Prices Up to 1.5% Tata Motors has announced a price increase for its commercial vehicles, with the hike ranging up to 1.5%, effective from April 1. The decision aims to counter the rising costs of commodities and other inputs, which have placed significant pressure on the company’s cost structure. This move follows similar adjustments previously announced for the passenger vehicle segment, where sustained increases in raw material expenses had already prompted price revisions. The company cited escalating commodity prices, particularly for precious metals and copper, as a key driver of the cost pressures. During a quarterly earnings call, Tata Motors’ executive emphasized that the impact of rising commodity prices has amounted to approximately 2% of the company’s revenues. “We have been facing pressure on the commodity side for nearly a year now,” the executive noted, highlighting the ongoing challenges posed by fluctuating input costs. This price adjustment is part of a broader trend among automakers globally. Major players such as Audi and Hyundai have already implemented similar measures, with Audi announcing a 2% increase across its model range to offset rising input costs and currency fluctuations. In India, Maruti Suzuki, the country’s largest carmaker, is also reviewing potential price hikes amid rising input costs, despite robust demand fueled by recent reductions in GST rates. Tata Motors’ Vice President and Business Head for Trucks, Rajesh Kaul, confirmed the pricing changes during a launch event for the company’s truck models. He stated that the adjustment is necessary to maintain profitability in the face of persistent inflationary pressures.#tata_motors #maruti_suzuki #rajesh_kaul #partho_banerjee #audi
