Tata Motors unveils a CNG-powered version of the Altroz starting at Rs Rs7.55 lakh

Tata Motors introduced the CNG version of its premium hatchback Altroz for an introductory price of Rs 7.55 lakh (ex-showroom all-India).

Tata Motors said in a statement that the Altroz iCNG is available in six variants with prices ranging from Rs 7.55 lakh to Rs 10.55 lakh (all prices are ex-showroom, all-India).

The vehicle is equipped with twin-cylinder CNG technology and features advanced features, including a voice-activated electric sunroof, a wireless charger, and an air purifier.

Located below the luggage area, the twin CNG cylinders and their valves and pipes are protected beneath the load floor, which reduces the possibility of damage.

Shailesh Chandra, Managing Director of Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles Ltd and Tata Passenger Electric Mobility Ltd, stated that customers are increasingly choosing alternative fuels with the intent of achieving a more economical and eco-friendly drive, and CNG as a fuel has gained a great deal of acceptance due to its wide availability and accessibility.

With the Altroz iCNG, Tata Motors will enhance the 'New Forever' range of passenger cars and maintain growth momentum.

As a measure of safety, the Altroz iCNG is equipped with a micro-switch to keep the car switched off during refueling, as well as thermal incident protection which blocks the supply of CNG to the engine and releases the gas into the atmosphere.

Aside from projector headlamps and LED daytime running lights, the new model also features an 8-speaker touchscreen infotainment system with Android Auto and Apple Carplay capabilities, according to Tata Motors.
