2023 Maruti Suzuki Brezza CNG: Powertrain

It is believed that the upcoming Brezza CNG will be the first CNG-powered car to be available with an automatic transmission option. The Brezza CNG will carry forward the K15C 1.5-litre, four-cylinder, naturally aspirated, petrol hybrid engine mated to a five-speed manual or six-speed torque-convertor automatic transmission.

While this motor makes 103PS and 136.8Nm of torque, the CNG-powered model is expected to produce 88PS and 121.5Nm of torque. For reference, the XL6 CNG with the same engine and manual gearbox returns a mileage of 26.32km/kg. The Brezza CNG may well give out similar fuel economy too.
