Planning to buy a Maruti Suzuki Brezza? Your low-price window is closing. Maruti Suzuki will raise prices by up to ₹20,000 on select models from September 2026, blaming a steady rise in input costs (the money it spends making cars). The Brezza is India's second-bestselling SUV, so it is almost certain to feel the pinch.
Maruti Suzuki price hike September 2026: up to ₹20,000, and why
Maruti Suzuki has announced a price hike of up to ₹20,000 on select models. The new prices take effect during September 2026. The company blamed a continuous rise in input costs, which has pushed up its overall cost of making cars. Maruti says it tried to absorb the extra cost through internal savings over the past few months. But with inflation staying high, it now has to pass part of the burden to buyers. The maximum increase is capped at ₹20,000, and the exact figure varies by model.
Brezza revised prices: what the ₹20,000 hike could mean
Maruti hasn't yet shared the exact variant-wise increase for the Brezza, so treat these as projections until the company confirms them in September. Right now the Brezza sells at ₹7.40–13.71 lakh ex-showroom (before road tax, registration and insurance, which vary by state). The base LXi Petrol MT starts at ₹7.40 lakh, the CNG LXi is ₹9.30 lakh, and the range tops out with the ZXi+ Petrol AT at ₹13.55 lakh. If the full ₹20,000 applies, the base could move to about ₹7.60 lakh and the top trim to around ₹13.75 lakh. Note that features and specs stay the same. Only the price moves.
Which Brezza trims will cost the most?
In past hikes, Maruti often spares the entry variants and loads more onto the top trims. So the ZXi+ Petrol AT, already the costliest at ₹13.55 lakh, is likely to bear the steepest rupee jump. On percentage terms, a ₹20,000 hike stings the base LXi more (roughly 2.7% on ₹7.40 lakh) than the top ZXi+ (about 1.5% on ₹13.55 lakh). The Brezza gets a 1.5-litre petrol making 109 bhp (in older tune) or 102 bhp (newer strong hybrid setup), plus an 87 bhp CNG option. Mileage runs up to 21.09 kmpl on petrol MT and 26.90 km/kg on CNG (ARAI figures, always higher than real driving).

SUVBrezza vs Nissan Magnite and rivals after the hike
The Brezza tops out at ₹13.71 lakh, well above the Nissan Magnite's ₹11.16 lakh. That ₹2.55 lakh gap will only widen if both cars see similar hikes. The Tata Punch (₹10.67 lakh) and Hyundai Exter (₹10.43 lakh) stay cheaper overall, though they sit a size class below. The Brezza's pull is its huge service network, strong resale and Maruti's low running costs. You pay a premium for that peace of mind.
Should you book a Brezza now or wait?
If you were already close to buying, book before September to lock the current price. A ₹20,000 saving isn't life-changing, but it does trim your loan a little. On a ₹10 lakh, 7-year loan, ₹20,000 less works out to only about ₹300 a month in EMI, so don't rush a big decision just for it. If a dealer is offering a fat festive discount that beats the hike, that matters more. Since Maruti sets the tone for the market, rivals often follow with their own hikes soon after. So waiting rarely gets you a cheaper car.
