In the CNG hatchback and sedan space, Tata Motors’ Tiago iCNG and Tigor iCNG are some of the newest offerings. Launched last month, the homegrown carmaker’s iCNG range is welcomed by a warm response by the Indian audience. The carmaker has not shared the actual sales figures for these models yet. In a recent conversation with Rajan Amba, VP – Sales, Marketing, Customer Service, Tata Motors, he confirmed that the response for iCNG models from the Indian market is rather great. Also, the new iCNG models have a waiting period that extends to 4 months.
Furthermore, the company has strong expectations from its CNG portfolio. Soon, other sub-4m models from Tata Motors’ line-up could also be available with the factory-fitted CNG kit. Talking of prices, the Tiago iCNG starts from Rs. 6.10 lakh (ex-showroom) and tops out at Rs. 7.64 lakh (ex-showroom). As for the Tigor iCNG, it has a starting price of Rs. 7.69 lakh (ex-showroom), which goes up to Rs. 8.41 lakh (ex-showroom).
Tata Motors is offering the option of the factory-fitted CNG kit in a slew of variants for both of these models. The Tiago iCNG is available in 5 trims, namely XE, XM, XT, XZ+, and XZ+ DT. The Tigor iCNG can be bought in one of the three trim options – XZ, XZ+, and XZ+ DT. Tata Motors has also ensured that the CNG kits ensure utmost passenger safety. The iCNG models come with first-in-segment safety features like a leak detection system, a micro-switch to turn off the ignition when the fuel lid is open, and more.
The iCNG portfolio also boasts low running costs. With a claimed mileage of 26.49 km/kg, a kilometre long drive in the Tiago iCNG in Delhi would cost Rs. 1.64 only, whereas it comes up to Rs. 4.19 for its petrol counterpart.
