The Maruti Brezza is a clear winner, offering good fuel efficiency compared to the Tata Nexon.
While you can get better mileage in the Maruti Brezza CNG, the Tata Nexon, on the other hand, offers CNG paired with a turbo petrol engine, so you won’t lose out on power
The Tata Nexon offers a dual-cylinder CNG kit, while the new Brezza offers an underbody CNG cylinder unit. So there’s not a big compromise in either model when it comes to boot space in the CNG version.
Tata Nexon offers more transmission options, including DCA, compared to the Brezza, which offers only 6-speed MT and AT options.
The 1.0-litre turbo petrol option could suit buyers wanting better mileage in an SUV at a lower starting price, while compromising on features.
