Maruti Suzuki Brezza vs Tata Nexon
By Let’s Pick My Car · Editorial published · Page updated
Which should you choose?
Start with your preferred gearbox and fuel. The catalogue lists petrol and CNG choices for both cars, while the Nexon also offers diesel. For an automatic, compare the Brezza’s AT with the Nexon’s AMT or DCA in a test drive before comparing trim equipment.
Editorial advice based on the catalogue, not a head-to-head road test. Confirm the exact model year and variant before booking.

Exact variants to investigate
Catalogue editorial picks; compare their different equipment and purposes.
- ZXi Turbo MT
Best value overall
₹11,89,056Estimated Bengaluru on-roadSunroof, LED projectors, wireless charger, plus blind-spot alert, TPMS and cruise that the 1.5 ZXi doesn't get. It costs ₹60,000 less than the 1.5 ZXi manual and stays under ₹10 lakh ex-showroom, so Karnataka road tax is lower too.
- ZXi+ Petrol AT
Best automatic
₹16,79,017Estimated Bengaluru on-roadThe only automatic with the full safety kit: 360° camera, blind-spot alert, TPMS, cruise, rear wiper, plus ventilated seats. The ZXi AT misses most of these.
- VXi CNG MT
Lowest running cost
₹12,00,316Estimated Bengaluru on-roadAbout ₹5 per km in fuel, with a touchscreen, wireless CarPlay and auto AC. No reversing camera on this trim though; budget ₹5–10k to add one.

Useful manual entry
₹10,91,725Estimated Bengaluru on-roadWireless screen, camera, rear vents and folding mirrors with standard safety equipment; 6MT rather than Smart's 5MT.
- Creative Petrol AMT
City automatic equipment
₹13,51,228Estimated Bengaluru on-roadClimate AC, 360/BVM, alloys, smart entry and verified conventional cruise. AMT differs from the seven-speed DCA.
- Pure+ CNG MT
CNG with useful basics
₹11,89,682Estimated Bengaluru on-roadWireless screen, camera and rear vents at the current ₹9,89,990 Bengaluru price. Choose with reliable CNG access; crash-rating applicability is unverified.
What to check before deciding
- For city driving, try low-speed response, parking and stop-start traffic in the exact automatic you plan to buy.
- For CNG, compare usable luggage space and refuelling access. Do not transfer a petrol crash rating to CNG without checking its scope.
- Compare matched equipment rather than trim names: cameras, cruise and comfort features can change with the powertrain.
Which is cheaper for your driving?
Compare the exact variants you would buy, then include your monthly distance, energy costs and ownership period. The lowest starting price is not necessarily the lowest ownership cost. Calculate fuel-cost break-even and compare itemised dealer quotes.
