Maruti Suzuki is considering adding sunroof and side airbags to the Vitara Brezza facelift. Notice Inviting Tender (NIT) has been floated to vendors for multiple airbags and sunroofs. Three of the Brezza's prime competitors - the Hyundai Venue, Ford EcoSport and the Mahindra XUV 300, come equipped with them.

An earlier report indicated that the facelift model could come with the in-house developed 1.5-litre diesel unit that produces 94 BHP @ 4,000 rpm and 225 Nm of torque @ 1,500-2,500 rpm and the 1.5-litre, 4-cylinder petrol from the Ciaz which develops 103 BHP @ 6,000 rpm and 138 Nm @ 4,400 rpm. At present, the Vitara Brezza is available with a 1.3-litre, 4-cylinder diesel engine that produces 89 BHP @ 4,000 rpm and a torque of 200 Nm @ 1,750 rpm. Transmission options include a 5-speed manual and 5-speed AMT.
