The Tata Nexon has built quite a reputation for safety, build quality, and bold looks. Now with the New Updated Tata Nexon Creative CNG 2025 Model, Tata Motors brings even more options to one of India’s favorite compact SUVs. This post covers my hands-on experience with the Creative CNG variant, walking through all key features, the design, comfort, and why it stands out among CNG SUVs.
The variant I’m reviewing sits high in the lineup, offering a blend of safety, flair, and smarter fuel savings. Let’s see why the Creative CNG could be a top pick for buyers in 2025.
Tata Nexon Creative CNG 2025 Overview
The Tata Nexon Creative CNG 2025 is positioned as the third top-end CNG trim in the Nexon family. It lands right below the top two CNG variants, making it an appealing sweet spot for features and price.
Ex-showroom price (Alwar, Rajasthan): ₹11,99,990
Type: Compact SUV
Wheelbase: 2498 mm
Ground clearance: 208 mm
Segment: CNG with premium features and strong safety
Tata has made a point to offer CNG variants in several familiar trims, including Smart, Smart Plus, Creative (reviewed here), Creative Plus, and Fearless. So if you’ve been eyeing a petrol or diesel Nexon, that same experience is now available as a factory-fitted CNG setup.
The most important selling point here is Tata’s five-star safety rating. Every Nexon, including the Creative CNG, boasts next-level structural strength and crash safety. This peace of mind makes a real difference, especially if you drive on busy Indian roads every day.

There’s a dedicated button to unlock the tailgate, but all tailgate operations are manual, just as in other Nexon trims. The remote’s design backs up the build and brand appeal.
Inside, all the major controls for folding the mirrors, locking the doors, and lighting are within easy reach on the driver-side door and dashboard. No extra learning curve—everything makes sense at first touch.

Performance & Fuel System
This is where the CNG edge shines.
Primary fuel: Advanced iCNG system; petrol backup always available
Switching: Easy dashboard control; you can flip between petrol and CNG on the go
CNG tank setup: Twin cylinders (30kg each) smartly under boot, plus 45-liter petrol tank
Gearbox: 6-speed manual—smooth lever action and easy clutch
With CNG as the main fuel, I get both running cost savings and greener credentials. The system’s easy transition and reliable power delivery means I don’t have to sacrifice everyday driving pleasure for efficiency.
Not Included / Missing Features
No car trim is perfect for everyone, and Tata’s Creative CNG has a few skipped extras:
No electronic tailgate opening (manual only)
No fog lamps
No sunroof or moonroof
No telescopic steering adjustment
No cruise control
No automatic headlamps or wipers
No parcel tray in boot
No Type-C charging ports in the rear cabin
