The Tata Nexon CNG has already made its mark among consumers, while now the Mahindra XUV 3XO CNG has also joined the fray.

Let us know which car can be a better option for you.

What is the price difference between Tata Nexon CNG and XUV 3XO CNG?

Talking about the price, the starting ex-showroom price of Tata Nexon CNG is around Rs 8.99 lakh. The price of its top variant goes up to around Rs 14.50 lakh.

On the other hand, the Mahindra XUV 3XO CNG has a starting ex-showroom price of around Rs 9.99 lakh. Its top variant is priced around Rs 12.27 lakh.

Thus, in terms of starting price, Tata Nexon CNG is cheaper, while Mahindra XUV 3XO CNG is priced lower compared to the top variant. However, it would be better to look at the prices of both vehicle variants with similar features for a fair comparison.

Who leads in mileage and engine?

The Tata Nexon CNG gets a 1.2-litre turbo-petrol engine, designed to run on CNG. It is the first car in India to offer CNG technology with a turbo engine. According to the given information, its mileage is around 24 kilometers per kilogram.

At the same time, the Mahindra XUV 3XO CNG also features a 1.2-litre turbo engine. Its claimed mileage is around 24.70 km/kg. Based on these figures, Mahindra gets a slight edge in mileage.
