Maruti Brezza 2026 Infotainment & Connected Car Tech

Screen size gets all the attention in spec-sheet comparisons, but infotainment on the 2026 Brezza is really a story about which trim you’re buying, since the jump from no touchscreen at all to a 10.1-inch connected display happens in two distinct steps across the range, not gradually.

Infotainment by Variant

LXi (base): No touchscreen at all. This is worth knowing clearly before you shop by price alone, the base Brezza in 2026 ships without any touchscreen infotainment system, a genuine gap in a market where even budget hatchbacks now commonly include wireless Android Auto.

VXi: Gets the first touchscreen in the range, a 7-inch unit with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay support, paired with an Arkamys-tuned sound system. This is the meaningful entry point for anyone who considers a touchscreen a non-negotiable, stepping up from LXi to VXi is where that requirement gets addressed.

ZXi: Carries over the same 7-inch touchscreen as VXi rather than upgrading it, the ZXi’s genuine additions over VXi are elsewhere, sunroof, push-button start, wireless charger, rather than in infotainment specifically. If a bigger screen is your priority, ZXi alone doesn’t deliver it.

ZXi+: Jumps to a considerably larger 10.1-inch touchscreen, and this is also the only trim that includes Suzuki Connect, the brand’s connected-car technology suite. If cabin tech and connectivity features are genuinely important to you, ZXi+ is the only trim in the range that delivers the full experience, there’s no middle ground between the 7-inch VXi/ZXi screen and the 10.1-inch ZXi+ unit.

What Suzuki Connect Actually Offers

Suzuki Connect is Maruti’s connected-car platform, exclusive to the ZXi+ trim on the Brezza. Typical functionality in this category of connected-car systems includes remote vehicle status checks (fuel level, door lock status), geofencing alerts, trip analytics, remote AC control ahead of getting into the car, and driving behaviour scoring.

Suzuki Connect typically requires a companion smartphone app and an active subscription or data connection to function fully, worth factoring into your ownership expectations, since some features may depend on network coverage or an ongoing subscription rather than working entirely offline.

Sound System

The VXi introduces an Arkamys-tuned sound system, a partnership Maruti has used across several models to improve audio quality beyond a generic standard system. Since speaker count and amplifier specifications weren’t consistently detailed across available sources at the time of writing. If audio quality is a genuine priority, it’s worth an in-person demo at the dealership across trims before deciding, since sound system quality is one of the harder specifications to judge purely from a spec sheet.

Wireless Charging

The wireless charging pad is available from ZXi trim upward, a genuinely convenient inclusion for anyone who doesn’t want to deal with a charging cable during daily use. It’s absent on LXi and VXi, worth factoring in if wireless charging specifically matters to you and you were considering stopping at VXi for budget reasons.

Instrument Cluster

Since available sources at the time of writing didn’t consistently confirm whether the Brezza 2026 uses a fully digital instrument cluster across all trims or retains a semi-digital setup on lower variants, a detail worth checking directly with a dealer if a full digital cluster is important to your buying decision.

How This Compares to the Outgoing Model

The previous-generation Brezza topped out with a smaller display, and the 2026 facelift’s move to a 10.1-inch touchscreen on ZXi+ represents a genuine step up in line with where the segment has moved generally. The addition of Suzuki Connect on the top trim is also new to this generation, connected-car functionality wasn’t previously part of the Brezza’s feature set in the same way.

How the Brezza’s Infotainment Compares to Rivals

The Hyundai Venue’s second generation offers dual 12.3-inch curved panoramic displays, larger and more visually striking than the Brezza’s single 10.1-inch unit even on the range-topping ZXi+. The Kia Syros similarly offers dual 12.3-inch screens on higher trims. If dual-screen setups and maximum display real estate are a priority, both Kia and Hyundai currently offer a more ambitious cabin tech package than the Brezza does at the top end. The Brezza’s advantage is that Suzuki Connect and the 10.1-inch screen come from a manufacturer with an extremely broad service network, worth weighing against outright screen size if long-term support and familiarity matter more to you than having the single largest display in the segment.

Should Infotainment Alone Push You to a Higher Trim?

If a touchscreen at all is non-negotiable, VXi is your realistic floor, since LXi ships without one entirely. If Suzuki Connect and the larger screen genuinely matter to your daily use, that pushes you specifically to ZXi+, since there’s no intermediate option that offers a bigger screen without the full jump to the top trim. For buyers who see infotainment as a nice-to-have rather than a priority, the ZXi’s 7-inch screen with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay is functionally sufficient for most daily needs, navigation, calls, and music casting all work through phone mirroring regardless of the screen’s physical size.
