Like other car models in the manufacturer's portfolio, the Vitara Brezza comes with a two-year/40,000 km standard warranty. On the other hand, the 5 year/1,00,000 km lakh warranty kit is offered as optional for now. 

The free warranty kit has been introduced help the Brezza prevent the newly launched Hyundai Venue from affecting its sales.

The upcoming facelift of the company's most sold SUV will likely arrive with new looks, electric sunroof, side airbags along with a petrol engine option. Under the hood, the Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza equips a 1.3-litre, DDiS, turbo-diesel engine that does the same duty in Ciaz and Ertiga. The engine churns out power and torque outputs of 90 Ps and 200 Nm. Transmission duties are done by a 5-speed manual or a 5 -speed AMT.
