Maruti brought in the petrol version of the Brezza and the compact SUV is receiving a decent amount of booking numbers. The highlight was the inclusion of a mild hybrid in the automatic trim but recent reports suggest that they will bring this SHVS with the manual gearbox of Maruti Brezza too.
Yes, the mild hybrid system with a manual transmission will increase fuel efficiency and also it will affect the production cost of Maruti Brezza. This system was first introduced in Ciaz and it will come with all four trims that are LXi, VXi and ZXi and ZXi+.
