The Tiago iCNG AMT will come in three variants – XTA CNG, XZA+ CNG and XZA NRG while the Tigor iCNG AMT will come in two variants – XZA CNG and XZA+ CNG. Furthermore, Tata will also introduce the new Tornado Blue shade in the Tiago, Grassland Beige in Tiago NRG and a Meteor Bronze in the Tigor with the latest update.
The Tata Tiago and Tigor CNG variants will get the 5-speed automated manual transmission (AMT). The AMT unit will be paired with the same 1.2-litre three-cylinder, naturally aspirated petrol engine. On the CNG version, the motor produces 72 bhp and 95 Nm of peak torque, as against 85 bhp and 113 Nm on the pure-petrol version. Tata claims there will be no perceived difference in the performance of the petrol and CNG drivability. The automaker also promises high restart gradability and easy creep behaviour for effortless parking and driving at crawling speeds.
The Tata Tiago and Tigor CNG will employ twin-cylinder technology that liberates more room in the boot, making the offerings more practical than ever. Furthermore, both cars are equipped with a host of creature comforts including a smart infotainment system, multi-function steering wheel, HVAC unit and more. Other features will be carried over from the manual variants of the cars.
