Dimensions And Design
Tata Nexon | Maruti Brezza | ||
Length (mm) | 3995 | 3995 | |
Width (mm) | 1804 | 1790 | |
Height (mm) | 1620 | 1685 | |

Design on the flip side, is something that is a subjective topic and is not the right attribute to compare. But for reference, we have the Tata Nexon and the Brezza pictures right here. Depending on personal preferences, both SUVs offer a unique styling philosophy. Tell us what suits your style in the comments below.
Engine
Recently unveiled at the Bharat Mobility Show 2024, the Tata Nexon i-CNG marks a breakthrough as the first turbo-petrol-driven CNG vehicle boasting advanced technology. Distinguishing itself from competitors is its twin-cylinder CNG system, offering a storage capacity of 60 liters alongside a practical boot space of around 230 liters.
While specific power figures for this powertrain remain undisclosed, the petrol engine is known to deliver 118bhp and 170Nm of torque. However, the performance figures tend to drop when CNG mode kicks in and we expect the same to happen here as well.
Maruti Brezza, on the other hand comes fitted with a 1.5-liter K15C naturally aspirated petrol engine, accompanied by a factory-installed single-cylinder CNG kit. Paired with a five-speed manual transmission, this engine is configured to deliver 87bhp and 121Nm of torque at its peak. And by the looks of it, Nexon seems to be the more powerful of the two, however, it is very early to say it with the actual figures still behind tight lips.

Safety-wise, it boasts six airbags, ABS with EBD ESP, hill-hold assistance, and ISOFIX child seat mounts.
Price
Tata Nexon | Maruti Brezza | |
Price | Rs. 9 lakhs- Rs. 16 lakhs (expected) | Rs. 9.29 - Rs. 12.09 lakhs |
The Brezza CNG variants start at Rs. 9.29 lakhs and goes all the way up to Rs. 12.09 lakhs. Expect somewhere around Rs 80,000 price gap between the standard Tata Nexon and its upcoming CNG sibling, just like their petrol counterparts. That means the Nexon CNG is likely to land somewhere between Rs 9 lakh and Rs 16 lakh, depending on the variant you choose
Verdict
And there you have it. Brezza CNG vs Nexon CNG is a complete bared out comparison. While the segment is same, no 2 products share the same pros and cons. You might think Nexon is the one for you while someone else chooses Brezza as the right fit. As we always say, the perfect car is always the one that suits your personal needs the best.
