The Brezza currently gets a 1.5L  4-cylinder petrol engine, which is also available in the Ertiga. This 1.5L engine is a proven unit for CNG fitment as the Ertiga already comes with a CNG option. Also, the specifications of the CNG Brezza could align with the specs of Ertiga CNG as the engine is the same. Based on Ertiga CNG, here are the engine specs of the Brezza CNG:
