It gets LED tail lamps at the rear, but the design remain unchanged.

As of the now the Vitara Brezza has been launched only with the hybrid petrol engine and there is no confirmation about it getting a diesel powertrain at a later date. The outgoing model which was powered by the Fiat-sourced 1.3-litre Multijet diesel engine will be phased out as the motor has been discontinued. Maruti's chairman, R.C. Bhargava had said earlier that the carmaker will only consider continuing the new 1.5-litre diesel engine if there will be ample demand for diesel models post BS6 nationwide implementation.
