Assembled in India (Imported Major Parts)

Our Verdict: Most of the Brezza is made in India. The engines are built locally, and the final assembly is done in Haryana. The main exceptions are the automatic transmission imported from Aisin in Japan, and the car's frame design licensed from Suzuki in Japan.

How it's Sourced: The Brezza is assembled at factories in Manesar and Kharkhoda, Haryana. The 1.5L petrol engine and manual gearboxes are built locally. Most other parts come from local suppliers, such as body panels from Jay Bharat Maruti and Caparo, and suspension parts from Gabriel. However, the automatic gearbox is imported from Aisin in Japan, and the frame design is licensed from Suzuki.
