The Tata Nexon CNG has launched with all bells and whistles to dethrone the popular Maruti Brezza CNG

The Tata Nexon CNG went on sale recently, with prices starting at Rs 8.99 lakh (ex-showroom, pan-India). This Tata CNG offering directly rivals the popular Maruti Brezza CNG. So, here's a look at how the new Tata Nexon CNG fares against the established Brezza CNG:

One thing that is to be noted here is that the Nexon CNG comes with a dual-CNG cylinder setup, which allows it to have a boot space of 321 litres. The Brezza, on the other hand, gets a single CNG cylinder in its boot which translates to a relatively smaller boot space.

Powertrain

Maruti Brezza

The Tata Nexon CNG comes with a turbocharged engine, which is a first for any CNG offering in India. The Brezza, however, comes with a naturally aspirated engine. Let us take a look at the detailed specifications of both these CNG cars:

	Tata Nexon CNG	Maruti Brezza CNG
Engine	1.2-litre turbo-petrol CNG	1.5-litre naturally aspirated CNG
Power	100 PS	88 PS
Torque	170 Nm	121.5 Nm
Transmission	6-speed manual	5-speed manual
Claimed Fuel Efficiency	24 km per kg	25.51 km per kg

The Tata Nexon CNG outperforms the Brezza CNG when the powertrain output is considered. It is mated to a 6-speed manual gearbox, while the Maruti SUV comes with a 5-speed MT. On the other hand, the Maruti Brezza CNG has the better claimed fuel efficiency.

Which CNG SUV To Pick?

The Maruti Brezza CNG has been on sale for some time now, while the Tata Nexon CNG is a new offering. Moreover, the Nexon CNG comes with Tata’s dual-CNG cylinder tech that liberates more space in the boot, making the Nexon a bit more practical than the Brezza CNG. However, the Brezza has enough boot space for short trips.

Maruti Brezza CNG

Where the Brezza CNG has an edge, however, is in the pricing. Its base variant might be a bit pricier but the fully-loaded model is Rs 2.33 lakh more affordable than the Tata SUV. If we compare the variant-wise offerings, the price of the top-spec Brezza Zxi CNG corresponds to the one-below-top Creative Plus variant, which has a similar feature suite as the Brezza. The Maruti subcompact SUV also returns better fuel efficiency than the Nexon CNG.

So, we feel that the Tata Nexon CNG is the better offering here – it gets a more powerful engine, returns a similar fuel efficiency as the Brezza CNG and is feature-loaded to its brim. It also gets a bigger boot space and a more futuristic design language. The Nexon’s safety net too is better in every aspect than that of the Brezza CNG.

However, we advise you to test drive both these CNG offerings to come to a final purchasing decision.
