Tata Motors has launched the Altroz iCNG, a CNG-powered version of its popular premium hatchback. The Altroz iCNG is the first CNG car in the premium hatchback segment and it promises to offer all the benefits of CNG without any of the compromises.
One of the biggest issues with CNG cars is the lack of boot space. This is because the CNG tank takes up a lot of space in the boot. However, Tata Motors has solved this problem by splitting the CNG tank into two 30-liter tanks. These tanks are placed beneath the boot floor, which means that the boot space is not compromised.
In terms of performance, the Altroz iCNG is powered by a 1.2-liter, three-cylinder engine that produces 74PS and 103Nm of torque. This engine is paired with a 5-speed manual transmission. The Altroz iCNG is claimed to deliver a fuel efficiency of 20km/kg in CNG mode.
The Altroz iCNG is available in six variants: XE, XM+, XM+(S), XZ, XZ+(S) and XZ+O(S). The prices start at Rs. 7.55 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi).
We drove the Altroz iCNG and we were impressed with its performance. The engine is smooth and refined, and it offers good power and torque. The car is also easy to drive and it handles well.
The Altroz iCNG is a good value for money proposition. It offers all the benefits of CNG without any of the compromises. If you are looking for a fuel-efficient car that is also fun to drive, then the Altroz iCNG is a good option to consider.
