The Tata Nexon CNG has recently been launched in India, with prices starting from Rs 8.99 lakh (ex-showroom). It is the country’s first turbo-powered CNG vehicle that will face rivalry from the Maruti Brezza CNG. So if you’re confused between these two environment-friendly SUVs, we have detailed their comparison to help you make an informed decision.
Let’s start with dimensions: –
Tata Nexon CNG vs Maruti Brezza CNG – Dimensions
| Tata Nexon CNG | Maruti Brezza CNG | |
| Length | 3995 mm | 3995 mm |
| Width | 1804 mm | 1790 mm |
| Height | 1620 mm | 1685 mm |
| Wheelbase | 2498 mm | 2500 mm |
| Boot Space | 321 litres | – |
- Both SUVs have identical lengths; however, the Nexon is slightly wider offering more shoulder space inside the cabin. On the other hand, the Brezza’s taller height provides better headroom.
- Thanks to its twin-cylinder CNG tanks, the Nexon holds an advantage when it comes to boot space, offering 321 litres of usable cargo area, which should be ideal for a family’s weekend getaway. On the other hand, the Brezza gets a larger, single CNG cylinder, which results in a relatively smaller boot space.
Engine Specifications and Mileage
| | Tata Nexon CNG | Maruti Brezza CNG |
| Engine | 1.2-litre turbocharged petrol | 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol |
| No of Cylinders | 3 | 4 |
| Max Power | 100PS | 88PS |
| Peak Torque | 170Nm | 121.5Nm |
| Transmission | 6-speed manual | 5-speed manual |
| Claimed Fuel Efficiency (Mileage) | 24 km/kg | 25.51 km/kg |
While we have yet to drive the Nexon CNG, its higher power output and larger transmission setup should improve performance and make overtaking easier. On the other hand, the Brezza’s lower engine output may feel underwhelming on highways and hilly areas, especially under full-load conditions. However, it is worth noting that turbocharged engines can be more complex and expensive to maintain compared to naturally aspirated units.
When it comes to fuel efficiency, the Brezza has an edge over the Nexon, making it more economical for long-distance drives.
