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:

Both the Nexon CNG and the Brezza CNG have similar dimensions with identical lengths and a marginal difference in their wheelbases. However, the Tata Nexon CNG is 14 mm wider but 65 mm shorter than the Brezza.
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.

- Both CNG cars come with a full LED lighting setup. However, the LED DRLs and the tail lights of the Nexon get a welcome and goodbye animation. Both SUVs also come with 16-inch alloy wheels, which are dual-tone in the Nexon and blacked-out in the Brezza.

The Brezza CNG comes with a single-pane sunroof and an analogue instrument cluster, while the Nexon CNG comes with a panoramic sunroof and a full-digital driver’s display.
-
The Nexon has a 10.25-inch touchscreen, whereas the Brezza gets a 7-inch unit. The Brezza also has a 6-speaker setup in comparison to the 8-speaker sound system of the Nexon CNG.

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.
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.
