2024 Maruti Suzuki Dzire CNG vs Tata Tigor CNG — Which one should you pick?

The 2024 Maruti Suzuki Dzire launch has certainly caught attention, becoming a standout with its sleek new design, attractive pricing, and improved features. This model is available not only in petrol but also in the CNG engine option. In this article, I’ll focus specifically on the CNG variant. The competition in this segment is fierce, and one of the most notable rivals to the Maruti Suzuki Dzire CNG is the Tata Tigor CNG. 

Launched in 2022, the Tigor CNG made waves in the industry, especially this year, by becoming the first model to offer an AMT gearbox option in a CNG powertrain. As the competition heats up, many buyers may find themselves torn between these two models. To help you make an informed decision, I’ve put together a detailed comparison of these two stars so you can see which one has the upper hand and where each might fall short.

Price showdown: Maruti Suzuki Dzire vs Tata Tigor

The 2024 Maruti Suzuki Dzire offers a competitive price, but the Tata Tigor isn’t far behind. When looking at the CNG variants, the Tigor CNG starts at Rs 7.59 lakh, while the Dzire CNG starts at Rs 8.74 lakh. If we compare the top CNG variants, the price difference is just Rs 44,100, with the Dzire CNG Zxi priced at Rs 9.84 lakh and the Tigor CNG XZA+ at Rs 9.39 lakh. It's clear that both models offer solid value, and the choice largely depends on preferences and features.

Maruti Suzuki Dzire vs Tata Tigor: Who aces the design game?

The Tata Tigor CNG design boasts a sleek, compact sedan body, with slightly sharper headlights that feature a thin Y-pattern grille between them. The body lines flow smoothly toward the rear, where the oval-shaped taillights stretch from left to right, positioned at the edges.

On the other hand, the Maruti Suzuki Dzire Exterior brings a more stylish and classy feel. It features sharp, rectangular headlights, a wide grille, and a more streamlined body. The rear end is more sculpted, with Y-shaped LED DRLs in the taillights. A chrome accent line stretches from one side to the other across the rear. Both models are visually appealing, but the Dzire, with its refined design, tends to look even more striking to the eyes.

Who gets the edge in features — Dzire CNG or Tigor CNG?

The Tata Tigor CNG offers essential tech, comfort, and convenience features, but the Maruti Suzuki Dzire holds a slight edge in terms of features. Additionally, the interior dashboard design is a matter of personal preference for buyers, depending on their taste.

Safety Tech

Both the Maruti Suzuki Dzire and Tata Tigor CNG come equipped with a range of safety features to ensure a secure driving experience. These include ABS with EBD, Isofix child seat anchorages, engine immobilizers, TPMS, rear defogger, day & night IRVM, reverse parking sensors, 3-point seat belts for all seats, seat belt reminder for all seats, seat belts with pre-tensioner & force limiter, speed-sensitive auto door locking, ESP, high-speed warning alert, reverse parking camera, and an anti-theft security system.

However, there are some differences between the two models. The Maruti Suzuki Dzire stands out with its additional features, including 6 airbags and a 360-degree camera. In contrast, the Tata Tigor CNG offers only 2 airbags and lacks a 360-degree camera.

Engine, power, mileage, & more

When comparing the power figures, the Maruti Suzuki Dzire takes the lead with around 4PS more power than the Tata Tigor CNG. In terms of torque, the Dzire also offers an advantage, delivering 6.8Nm more torque compared to the Tigor CNG. However, the Tigor stands out by offering an Automated Manual Transmission, a feature absent in the Dzire, making it a practical choice for buyers looking for an automatic option.

As for mileage, the Dzire claims a higher fuel efficiency of 33.73 km/kg, which is notably better than the Tigor’s claimed mileage of up to 28.06 km/kg. While both have their strengths, the choice largely depends on whether the buyer prioritises mileage or the convenience of an AMT gearbox.
