Maruti Suzuki Dzire CNG Vs Aura CNG Vs Tigor CNG: Powertrain, Price & More
Maruti Suzuki has introduced the fourth-generation Dzire in India, now available with a CNG powertrain from the start. This addition places it in competition with the Hyundai Aura CNG and Tata Tigor CNG. Let's explore how the new Maruti Dzire CNG compares to these rivals in terms of specifications, fuel efficiency, features, and pricing.
Powertrain & Specifications
The Dzire CNG is equipped with a 1.2-litre, three-cylinder engine producing 70hp and 102Nm of torque. This makes it slightly more powerful than the Aura's 69hp but less than the Tigor's 73hp. However, the Dzire leads in torque output. Unlike its competitors, it lacks an automatic transmission option for CNG.
In terms of mileage, which is crucial for CNG buyers, the Dzire excels with 33.73km/kg. The Aura follows with 28.4km/kg, while the Tigor offers 26.49km/kg. Despite its efficiency, the Dzire's 55-litre tank is smaller compared to its rivals.
