Maruti Dzire CNG Vs Rivals: Specifications Compared

As it turns out, the Dzire is the costliest but the most fuel-efficient of the three 

Maruti recently launched the Dzire CNG, the third sedan in its segment to get the cleaner fuel option. It’s priced from Rs 8.14 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi) onwards, making it Rs 95,000 more expensive than the corresponding petrol variants. 

The Dzire CNG competes with the Tata Tigor and Hyundai Aura. The Aura was the first one to get an optional CNG and recently, Tata also introduced it on the Tigor. So here’s a specification comparison between the three subcompact sedans’ CNG variants: 

Variants And Prices

The Dzire and Tigor CNGs can be had in two variants, while the Aura gets it only with its mid-spec S variant. However, the Aura and the Tigor’s entry-level CNG variants are nearly Rs 40,000 – Rs 45,000 more affordable than the Dzire. As for the latter’s top-spec ZXI CNG, it is nearly 53,000 more expensive than the Tigor XZ Plus. 

Engine Specifications

The Maruti Dzire CNG is the most powerful among its rivals, making 2.6PS and 8PS more than the Tigor and the Aura – on paper. The torque figures are best-in-class too. Do note that the Tigor gets a three-cylinder petrol engine, while the others get a four-cylinder unit. All come with a 5-speed manual as standard. 

Fuel Economy

The Maruti Dzire is again the leader among its rivals here with claimed fuel efficiency figure. It offers 31.12km/kg, which is around 4.5km/kg more than the Tigor and about 3km/kg more than the Aura. 

Variant-wise Features

Of the three, it’s the Tigor that’s the most feature-laden entry-level CNG and also the most affordable. The Aura CNG has a disadvantage now that it is sold in a single variant only. Among top-spec variants, the Tigor fares better than the Dzire, featuring  automatic projector headlamps, rain-sensing wipers, auto-fold ORVMs, and a rear parking camera, over and above the Maruti.
