The previous teaser was about the 360-degree parking camera which is also shared with the Baleno. The camera is borrowed from Toyota. The 360-degree view would help the driver in parking the compact SUV more easily.

The Brezza would be powered by a 1.5-litre, four-cylinder, naturally aspirated unit. It is the new K12C engine that we have seen on the XL6 and the Ertiga. It produces a max power output of 103 PS and a peak torque output of 137 Nm. You can get it with a 5-speed manual gearbox or a 6-speed torque converter automatic transmission. If you get the automatic transmission then you also get paddle shifters mounted behind the steering wheel to take manual control of the gears.
