Tata Tiago NRG i-CNG Officially Teased

Having said that, the CNG version of the Tata Tiago is priced Rs 90,000 more than the petrol-only version of the hatchback. As such, we expect the upcoming Tata Tiago NRG i-CNG to be priced somewhere around Rs 7.49 lakh (ex-showroom, India).

The launch of the CNG iteration of the Tiago NRG seems quite sensible considering the demand for Tata Tiago NRG and Tata Tiago i-CNG hatchbacks in the country, especially the latter more than met the automaker's high expectations with consistent sales figures in tier 1 and tier 2 cities.

Since the low running cost of the CNG vehicle attract many car buyers, having the CNG version of the Tata Tiago NRG will attract even more customers to the Tata dealerships across the country.

Also, with the ever-tightening emission regulations in metro cities, opting for the CNG variants makes even more sense as these vehicles produce far fewer pollutants and are highly unlikely to be banned anytime soon.

In terms of powertrain, the CNG variant of the Tata Tiago NRG will sport the same tried-and-tested, 1.2-litre naturally-aspirated engine as the Tata Tiago CNG. This engine produces 84.82bhp of peak power and 113Nm of peak torque using petrol as fuel. However, with the CNG, this engine produces slightly lower power and torque outputs at 73bhp of power and 95Nm of torque.

Also, like the Tata Tiago i-CNG, the upcoming Tata Tiago NRG i-CNG will come with a 5-speed manual transmission as standard. However, the NRG model is expected to come with a slightly re-tuned suspension to cope with the added weight of the factory-fitted CNG kit.

In terms of features, the CNG variant of the Tata Tiago NRG will come equipped with an identical set of features as the petrol-only variant of the Tata Tiago NRG with the inclusion of features such as projector headlamps, LED DRLs, a 7-inch Harman infotainment system with 8-speakers, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, rear wash wiper with defogger, and many more.

Apart from that, the CNG variant of the Tata Tiago NRG is likely to come with identical safety features as its petrol-powered counterpart with the inclusion of safety systems such as ABS with EBD, dual airbags, reverse parking sensors, cornering stability control, speed-sensitive auto door lock and many more.

In terms of design, the upcoming Tata Tiago NRG i-CNG is likely to look identical to its petrol-powered counterpart albeit with a few 'i-CNG' badges to distinguish the CNG-powered models from the standard petrol-powered variants. Also, the Tata Tiago NRG i-CNG will sport an additional switch on the dashboard to switch to CNG fuel when required necessary.

Thoughts About The Upcoming Tata Tiago NRG i-CNG

With the launch of the Tata Tiago NRG i-CNG, Tata Motors is looking forward to further boosting its sales figures and increasing its market share in the Indian automobile market.
