Tata Nexon iCNG vs Toyota Hyryder CNG – Another point of difference in CNG SUVs is that they are increasingly becoming viable considerations for car buyers now. In this segment, the Tata Nexon iCNG and Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder CNG have their imbalances in respect of merits and demerits. So which one is declared as the mileage king for the day-to-day commute?
The hybrid CNG
A hybrid version of being capable of running on more than one kind of energy source, from comparatively high-end cars to more affordable vehicles, also holds a good record in the lower segment. The ARAI figures for the Toyota Hyryder CNG say it has a 1462 cc 4-cylinder engine, which has a claimed mileage of 26.6 km/kg, an astonishing figure that could be called a proper friend to long-distance operators. On the other hand,
The Tata Nexon iCNG has a 1199 cc 3-cylinder turbo engine that is constantly claiming mileage around 17.44 km/kg. With Tata’s iCNG tech being able to maintain the excitement of a turbocharged engine that gives higher torque (170 Nm) and performance, the Nexon all the more becomes fun for overtaking in traffic and city driving. Now, the four-cylinder engine in Toyota may be smooth, but Nexon’s three-cylinder engine does vibrate slightly.

Design, Features, and Safety
The Hyryder is a bigger SUV with a longer wheelbase of 2600 mm compared with the Nexon, which measures 2498 mm, therefore lending more interior space. Nevertheless, the Nexon’s ground clearance of 208 mm, which is better than the Hyryder’s, would help in traversing even the rugged roads. The Nexon packs in a lot more features, such as 6 airbags and a 360-degree camera, versus that of the base variant of the Hyryder S CNG, which gets 2 airbags. Further, including the CNG kit, the boot space for the Hyryder is better at 373 litres versus 321 litres for the Nexon.

An affordable family SUV with relatively better fuel economy is a way with respect to the Hyryder. But, with good fuel efficiency comes better safety ratings, higher ground clearance, and turbocharged performance-the Tata Nexon iCNG appears to be a better all-rounder with a package filled with features to tackle any tests thrown at it by the Indian roads.
