I don’t understand what to choose while looking for a new car that will be used in the city as well as on the highway (the home to office is 90 km both ways). I am confused between the Tata Nexon and the Curvv. I find the Curvv stylish, but it doesn’t come with a CNG model, which is the main difference causing the confusion. I’m also not sure why I don’t see the Curvv on the road as much as the Nexon.

As you’ve correctly pointed out, the Tata Nexon is your only real option if you want a CNG version, unlike the Tata Curvv. Considering your running and requirements, choosing a CNG variant makes a lot of sense. While the Curvv is stylish and stands out on the road, the main reason it hasn’t done as well as the Nexon is its pricing and positioning.
Since the Tata Curvvis over 4 metres long, it misses out on the tax benefits the Nexon enjoys, making it around Rs 3 to 4 lakh more expensive. Apart from the distinctive exterior and larger boot, it does not feel like a step up in terms of driving experience, rear seat comfort, cabin quality or practicality.
The Curvv also faces strong competition from cars like the Hyundai Creta, which offer better engine and gearbox options and feel more premium.
If you are looking for a CNG car in the Curvv’s price bracket, we strongly suggest considering the Maruti Suzuki Victoris CNG. It is well priced, the CNG tank is neatly placed under the boot floor, so boot space is less compromised, and it has also scored a 5 star rating in Bharat NCAP.
