When it comes to pricing and variants, the Tata Nexon CNG Smart (O) starts at Rs 8,99,990, while the Brezza CNG LXi kicks off at Rs 9,29,000. This means there's a difference of Rs 29,010 between the base variants of both models. For the top variants, the Nexon offers the Fearless + PS DT priced at Rs 14,59,990, whereas the Brezza's top trim, the ZXi, is priced at Rs 12,09,500. Here, the difference between these two high-end variants is Rs 2,50,490.

 

Additionally, Nexon’s Creative Plus variant is Rs 10,490 more expensive than the Brezza ZXi. The Brezza VXi variant is priced at Rs 10,64,500, which is very close to the Pure variant at Rs 10,69,990, with just a Rs 5,490 difference. Overall, the Nexon CNG offers a wider range of trim options, while the Brezza CNG is available in just three variants. Although the Nexon CNG starts at a more budget-friendly price, the Brezza CNG offers a more affordable top variant.

When it comes to features, the Tata Nexon stands out with a 10.24-inch Harman infotainment system and a 10.24-inch digital instrument cluster. It also offers ventilated front seats, a wireless charger, an air purifier with dust sensors, and an 8-speaker setup. Plus, you'll enjoy handy touches like one-shot up/down movement for windows, rain-sensing wipers, an auto-dimming anti-glare rearview mirror, fully automatic temperature control, a panoramic sunroof, and touch-based controls for the HVAC system.

 

On the other hand, the Brezza CNG brings a 9-inch SmartPlay Pro Plus infotainment screen, a colourful TFT display, wireless charging, and cruise control. It also includes a head-up display, electrically adjustable and foldable ORVMs, auto climate control, a 6-speaker sound system, an electric sunroof, day & night IRVM, a front centre armrest, and a cooled glovebox. However, when comparing the CNG range between the two, the Nexon CNG noticeably offers more range than the Brezza CNG.

When comparing the safety features of the Nexon CNG and Brezza CNG, both come packed with essential features like 6 airbags, a 360-degree camera, ESP (Electronic Stability Program), hill hold assist, a rearview camera, ISOFIX child seat anchors, central locking, impact-sensing door unlock, anti-theft security, engine immobilizer, seat belt reminder, high-speed warning alert, and reverse parking sensors. Most of the key safety features you'd expect are present in both models, making them well-equipped in terms of safety. However, there's one notable difference, while the Nexon CNG comes with a blind-view monitor, this feature is missing in the Brezza CNG.
