2018 Maruti Vitara Brezza AMT vs Tata Nexon AMT: Specifications Comparison

Two of the best-selling sub-4m SUVs recently received the convenience of a cost-effective AMT. Here’s how they stack up against each other  

Maruti Suzuki and Tata Motors had both launched the AMT-equipped (automated manual transmission) variants of their sub-4m SUVs some time ago. The Vitara Brezza AMT is available in all variants except the base-spec, while Tata offers the Nexon AMT in two variants, the mid-spec XMA and the range-topping XZA+.  

While the Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza is only available with a 1.3-litre diesel engine, the Nexon also gets a 1.2-litre 3-cylinder turbo petrol alongside the 1.5-litre diesel. Moreover, the Nexon gets an AMT option with the petrol engine as well.

• Since the Tata Nexon AMT is also available in petrol guise, it is the most affordable automatic compact SUV in its segment, at Rs 7.50 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi).

• Priced at Rs 8.53 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi), the Nexon XMA diesel also undercuts the Maruti Vitara Brezza Vdi AMT, albeit only by Rs 1,000.

• When it comes to top-spec variants, however, the Nexon AMT costs Rs 11,000 more than the Brezza AMT.
