Popular compact SUV gets facelift—not family‑hauler
Lately there’s been buzz online about a new Maruti Brezza 2025 being released as a seven‑seater with a massive 2,956 cc diesel engine and road trip–friendly mileage. But here’s the truth: Maruti Suzuki has not launched a seven‑seat Brezza, nor has it introduced a 2.9‑liter diesel version. Most reliable sources show that the Brezza continues as a 5‑seater compact SUV with a 1.5 L petrol engine. Maruti Brezza 2025
What the rumor says—and what’s fact
-
Rumor claims a 2,956 cc diesel engine, “strong mileage,” and affordable showroom prices.
-
In reality, no trustworthy source (like CarDekho, ZigWheels, V3Cars, or wiki) lists any official announcement of a Brezza seven‑seater. The 1.5 L petrol engine—naturally aspirated, mild hybrid, or CNG—remains the core of the lineup.
-
Interestingly, the 2,956 cc diesel engine appears in older Tata Sumo models—not Maruti Brezza.
So, while a bigger‑engine, extended‑rear Brezza sounds exciting, it’s simply not real, according to current info.

Price and availability
According to CarDekho, CarWale, and V3Cars, the 2025 Brezza’s ex‑showroom price in India is approximately ₹8.69 lakh to ₹14.14 lakh. On‑road prices in Delhi start around ₹9.66 lakh for the base version and approach ₹16.14 lakh for the top-spec mild‑hybrid automatic.
Maruti has begun production of the facelifted model at its Kharkhoda plant, with deliveries expected through various dealerships soon.
Why the 7‑seater rumor spread
-
Videos on YouTube carry misleading titles like “2025 Maruti Brezza 7‑Seater Launched Powerful 2956cc…” but show standard Brezza models with 1.5 L petrol engines.
-
Some confusion may stem from folks spotting a stretched test mule, which was incorrectly tagged as a Brezza. But that vehicle more likely belongs to a completely different platform.
Final word
For now, the 2025 Maruti Brezza remains a five‑seat compact SUV that offers a choice of petrol and mild‑hybrid engines. It’s budget‑friendly, feature‑rich, and safe—but not a seven‑seater, and certainly not equipped with a 3‑liter diesel engine. Anyone hoping for a third‑row Brezza will have to wait—or look at true seven‑seat SUVs like the Ertiga, Carens, or upcoming Grand Vitara 3‑row.
