Taking advantage of the excitement created by the facelifted Nexon, Tata Motors will introduce a CNG version of it. Tata launched ICNG technology a few years ago with the Tiago and Tigor, which come with twin cylinders. However, the arrival of the country's first twin-cylinder iCNG technology, without compromising on boot space, is a huge development.

Specifications on Features

Tata claims that the Nexon iCNG will provide better drivability and performance on various terrains with higher ground clearance due to advanced low-end torque and sophisticated calibration. The factory-fit CNG system kit comes with thermal event protection, leakage detection feature, micro switch, 6-point cylinder mounting scheme, single ECU and high-quality materials.

It will use the familiar 1.2-litre three-cylinder turbo petrol engine that produces 120 PS and 170 Nm, but with lower performance outputs. It will be mated to a 5-speed manual transmission, while an AMT may also be on offer.
