Maruti Brezza CNG set to become more practical in intercity trips, offering a significantly higher boot space than the current model
Maruti Suzuki has started testing the Brezza with an underbody CNG tank. The company is developing a facelifted version of the Brezza and could roll out this update as part of that refresh. One of the biggest compromises in CNG cars is the large gas tank, which occupies a significant portion of the boot space, limiting their usability on long journeys. Tata Motors and Hyundai are attempting to overcome this limitation with a twin-cylinder layout, while Maruti Suzuki is opting for an underbody design.
Maruti Suzuki launched the Victoris with an underbody CNG tank in September last year, and now, it appears to be planning the same for the Brezza. The Brezza petrol offers 328 litres of boot space, and while Maruti Suzuki does not state the figure for the Brezza CNG, it’s certainly a significantly lower number.
The new underbody tank design should bring a major improvement in the boot space. The fuel capacity, efficiency, and range may also change. The current Brezza CNG features 55 litres of water-equivalent space in the tank and delivers a fuel economy of 25.51 km/kg. Under the hood, it has the K15C 1.5-litre naturally aspirated engine, married to a 5-speed manual transmission.

The engine produces 74 kW (99 hp) and 137.1 Nm of torque running on petrol and 64.6 kW (87 hp) and 121.5 Nm of torque in CNG mode. It is likely to be carried over without any changes with the facelift. The facelifted Brezza may also come with new features like ventilated seats, a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster, a 10-inch touchscreen infotainment system, and Level 2 advanced driver assistance systems.
The Maruti Brezza is one of the most popular CNG cars in India, and last year, it ranked fourth on the CNG car sales chart, with 70,928 units sold. The introduction of an underbody tank should make it even more popular and further solidify its position as the top pick in the compact CNG SUV segment.
