Tata new launches
Tata’s latest launch, the Altroz CNG, is eyeing the CNG market that is primarily dominated by Maruti Suzuki. The new Altroz CNG, based on its ICE sibling, boasts of split CNG CNG tanks situated in the boot where the spare tyre usually sits, freeing up boot space.
The Altroz’s platform was designed keeping in mind the CNG option, unlike other CNG cars in the market that have little to no room in the boot. The Tata Altroz competes primarily with the Hyundai i20 and the Maruti Suzuki Baleno, the latter of which gets a CNG option as well.
Tata Motors also has other CNG and EV models in its pipeline, including the brand’s second-best-seller, the Punch. However, Hyundai is also targeting this segment with the launch of the Exter, scheduled on 10 July.
