5 Reasons Why Tata Tiago iCNG With Twin

Published On Aug 28, 2023 06:00 PM By CarDekho for Tata Tiago

Tata Motors is usually right at the top to have a stellar showcase every time the auto expo takes place, and this year’s edition was one of its blockbuster outings as well. Among the various models presented, the Tata Altroz iCNG was one of the most interesting showcases as it featured an industry-first twin-cylinder technology. It has now been passed onto the entry-level hatchback, the Tata Tiago, alongside the Punch iCNG and Tigor iCNG.

Here are five advantages of picking the Tiago iCNG as your next CNG car:

The Tata Tiago iCNG’s main talking point is its uncompromised best-in-segment boot space. It is a stark contrast to what’s seen on current CNG cars having a massive CNG kit, which takes up most of the luggage area. Following the twin-cylinder technology’s inception in the Altroz iCNG, Tata Motors has now smartly rolled it out onto the Tiago iCNG, giving much easier access to the spare wheel as seen on the former.

The iCNG technology is provided with an industry-first feature which allows you to directly start the car in CNG mode, thereby doing away with the need of changing between petrol and CNG modes as prevalent on some other CNG models. This not only helps you save on time but also makes it lighter on your pocket by reducing the fuel consumption upon starting the car.

The Tiago iCNG also has an industry-first single advanced ECU feature, which offers seamless shifting between CNG and petrol modes while carrying on with optimum air-fuel ratio. Tata has also provided the Tiago iCNG’s technology with a modular fuel filter which requires cartridge changes, helping mitigate hazardous waste and reducing maintenance costs.

Being a CNG car, the Tiago iCNG is free from any kind of hazards as the technology can automatically switch from CNG to petrol mode in case of a gas leak. It even goes a step further in case there’s a thermal incident and releases gas from the cylinder directly into the atmosphere as part of its safety protocol.

Tata also offers the Tiago iCNG with a micro switch which works incredibly well as an additional safety measure by switching off the ignition upon the opening of the fuel lid. It ensures that the car cannot be started until and unless the lid is closed securely with the ‘CLOSE FUEL LID’ sign flashing in the instrument cluster. Then there is the uncompromised crash-test safety built into the Tiago iCNG as well - the Tata Tiago has already been crash tested by Global NCAP and it has received an impressive 4-star safety rating.

With the introduction of the CNG range, Tata Motors understood that consumers expect these cars to deliver unparalleled performance just like petrol cars. It has carried on with its superior 1.2-litre petrol engine (making 73.5PS/95Nm), while being coupled with a 5-speed manual gearbox.

Once you set the Tiago iCNG In motion, its powertrain feels as polished as the petrol, and driving on purely CNG power will feel a breeze as well. The Tiago iCNG has ample low-end torque, which eliminates frequent gear shifts and ensures effortless drives in both stop-start city traffic and various terrains.

Tata has ensured that all kinds of buyers can pick the Tiago iCNG as it is available in multiple variants: XE, XM, XT, XZ+ and XZ+ Dual Tone (DT). If it’s the ruggedness of SUVs that you crave from your Tiago iCNG, there’s the Tiago NRG as well, which too is available with the iCNG powertrain. It can be had in two variants: XT NRG iCNG and XZ NRG iCNG. That means you can have the CNG-equipped hatchback with premium features such as projector headlights with LED DRLs, push-button start/stop, auto climate control, and 7-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

The Tiago iCNG costs between Rs 6.55 lakh and Rs 8.20 lakh, and the Tiago NRG iCNG ranges between Rs 7.65 lakh and Rs 8.10 lakh.
