The popular Maruti Suzuki Brezza ZXI has recorded an exceptional mileage figure of 23.84 km/l in recent real-world testing, surpassing its ARAI-certified rating and setting a new benchmark in the compact SUV segment. This achievement further strengthens the Brezza’s position as one of the most fuel-efficient SUVs in the Indian market.

These features work in tandem to reduce fuel consumption, particularly during city driving with frequent stops and starts.
