Rs 9 lakh SUV to dethrone Tata Nexon?
Tata Nexon holds the crown of the top-selling SUV in India. It has achieved this position due to Tata’s constant push of updating it with special editions. The automaker has updated it with a plethora of editions which has increased its overall appeal. However, there’s one such car which could dethrone Tata Nexon’s top position. Which is this Rs 9 lakh SUV to rival the Tata Nexon.
Tata Nexon rival – Maruti Brezza CNG
Maruti has a strong player in the sub-compact SUV segment and it’s none other than the Brezza. India’s largest carmaker has recently revised up the Brezza and we are yet again with a new variant upgradation. Maruti is planning to give the addition of S-CNG to the Brezza which is likely to increase its penetration. So, let’s know more about the Brezza CNG.
Tata Nexon rival overview
Maruti is inducing its Brezza with the CNG bi-fuel option. So, what has changed in the car? Overall the design, interiors and exteriors are largely the same. What has been added is the CNG tank in its 328 litres of boot space. The other minimal changes include the addition of a CNG button on the dashboard and also the CNG telematics on the MID. The addition of CNG would make the Brezza more accessible for buyers who were looking for an economical way out in the sub-compact SUV sector.
Maruti Brezza CNG – Specifications
The engine of the Brezza CNG is set to remain the same which is a 1.5-litre petrol engine that makes 102bhp and 137Nm of torque. However, the power figures could witness a drop in the CNG mode. It is expected to churn out 88bhp and 121Nm of torque in CNG mode. Moreover, when we talk about the transmission, it could get a 5-speed manual and there are also talks about it getting a 6-speed AT transmission. If Maruti launches CNG in Brezza automatic, it could be the first car to come with such a configuration.
Launch and Pricing
Maruti launched the Baleno and XL6 CNG last month which were the first-ever CNG cars from Nexa. Then, if we talk about Brezza CNG, this car has started reaching various dealership stockyards. It could only mean that the launch is expected in near future. What about pricing? The CNG variants could be priced around a lakh rupees more expensive than the pure petrol counterpart. Moreover, we can expect CNG variants in the VXi and ZXi model variants.
