Tata Motors unveils Altroz iCNG

Hyderabad Automaker Tata Motors on Tuesday launched Altroz iCNG equipped with twin-cylinder CNG technology at an introductory price of Rs 7.55 lakh (all-India, ex-showroom).

After iCNG in Tiago and Tigor, the Altroz iCNG is the third CNG offering in the personal segment. The new vehicle is offered with six variants - XE, XM+, XM+(S), XZ, XZ+(S)and XZ+O(S).

The advance features of Altroz iCNG include voice-assisted electric sunroof, wireless charger and air purifier. Thermal incident protection, micro-switch to keep the car switched off at the time of refueling, six-point mounting system for the CNG tanks, twin cylinders located below the luggage area, projector headlamps, an eight-speaker touchscreen infotainment system by Harman with Android Auto and Apple Carplay connectivity are also on offer.

The vehicle is equipped with 1.2L Revotron engine that churns out 73.5 PS power at 6,000 rpm and torque of 103 Nm at 3,500 rpm.

“Customers are increasingly choosing alternate fuel options with the intent of an economical as well as eco-friendly drive. CNG as a fuel with its wide availability and accessibility has gained lot of acceptance. However, opting for a CNG meant compromising on aspirational features and to give up boot space significantly,” Tata Motors said.

In January 2022, we addressed the first compromise by launching the advanced iCNG technology in Tiago and Tigor. Today, we are delighted to launch the Altroz iCNG, an industry first offering which will redefine the CNG market by addressing the major concern on boot space, it added.

The Altroz portfolio today has petrol, diesel, iTurbo and iCNG offerings.
