The Mahindra XUV 3XO ZNG, Tata Nexon iCNG and two Maruti Suzuki models offer practical luggage space with factory-fitted CNG systems.
CNG cars in India are becoming more practical for buyers who want lower running costs without giving up too much luggage space. Models such as the Mahindra XUV 3XO ZNG, Tata Nexon iCNG, Maruti Suzuki Brezza S-CNG and Victoris S-CNG use different tank layouts to improve boot capacity.
These cars offer between 270 litres and 328 litres of boot space, based on the figures provided. Their claimed fuel efficiency ranges from 24 km/kg to 27.02 km/kg, depending on the model.
Mahindra XUV 3XO ZNG
The Mahindra XUV 3XO ZNG offers 270 litres of boot space. It uses a factory-fitted twin-cylinder CNG system, which leaves usable room for luggage above the tanks. The regular petrol XUV 3XO has a claimed boot capacity of 364 litres.
The SUV uses a 1.2-litre, three-cylinder turbo-petrol engine. In CNG mode, it produces 111 hp and 200 Nm of torque. Mahindra claims a fuel efficiency of 24.7 km/kg, while a six-speed manual gearbox handles transmission duties.
Prices for the XUV 3XO ZNG range from Rs 9.99 lakh to Rs 12.27 lakh, ex-showroom. Its twin-cylinder setup offers a way to retain luggage space while using CNG.
Maruti Suzuki Brezza S-CNG
The Maruti Suzuki Brezza S-CNG provides 328 litres of usable boot space. Its CNG tank sits under the vehicle, keeping the main luggage area free from a large cylinder.
The Brezza uses a 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine. In CNG mode, it produces 88 hp and 121.5 Nm of torque. Its claimed fuel efficiency is 26.9 km/kg, the highest among the XUV 3XO ZNG, Brezza S-CNG and Nexon iCNG.
This combination of boot space and claimed efficiency makes the Brezza a practical option for buyers who often carry luggage. However, the supplied information does not include its price range.
