Tata Nexon CNG: Tata Motors’ Nexon CNG, which was showcased as a concept at the India Mobility Show in January 2024, will be launched on September 2 after the launch of the petrol and diesel versions of the curve coupe SUV. According to Autocar India, the vehicle will be equipped with two gearbox options, including an AMT gearbox, and will be India’s first turbo-CNG vehicle.
Despite being showcased with a 5-speed manual gearbox at the India Mobility Expo, Autocar India anticipates that the car model will have an AMT automatic gearbox. It is expected to be one of the most powerful CNG vehicles in the segment
Tata Nexon CNG: Exterior, Interior
The Tata Nexon CNG will look similar to the petrol/diesel-powered Nexon SUVs but will have some CNG-specific changes including the iCNG badge. In terms of features, the higher-spec variants of the Tata Nexon CNG are expected to get a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Android Auto/Apple CarPlay and a digital instrument cluster of a similar size. Other expected bits include wireless phone charger, keyless entry, cruise control, six airbags, 360-degree camera, ABS with EBD, ISOFIX mounts and tyre pressure monitor.
Tata Nexon CNG: Expected Specs
- The interior and exterior of the Nexon CNG will be similar to the standard SUV. However, it is expected to get some CNG-related mechanical upgrades in the suspension, along with some iCNG badges to make it stand out. The Nexon CNG will come with a 1.2-litre turbocharged 3-cylinder engine and will be the third Tata product to offer a CNG-AMT combination after the Tigor and Tiago.
- The Nexon CNG is expected to be launched at around Rs 9 lakh (ex-showroom price). The CNG vehicle will be offered with a unique twin 60-litre CNG tank and a usable boot space of 230 litres.
- The Nexon CNG has a single ECU, which switches smoothly from CNG to petrol mode without any delay and the vehicle can be started directly on CNG mode. According to Tata Motors, the Nexon will be equipped with NGV1 type nozzles so that the fuel filling process is faster.
- The Nexon will be the only SUV in its segment to offer different powertrain options like CNG, pure petrol, diesel and EV. Tata Motors was the first company to introduce a twin-cylinder CNG tank with a capacity of 60 litres, a feature that is now available from Hyundai. Packed with such features, the Nexon CNG will compete with the CNG version of the Maruti Suzuki Brezza.
Nexon CNG launch date
Tata Motors is reportedly going to launch the Nexon CNG on September, which will further diversify its popular subcompact SUV lineup. The Nexon CNG, which was showcased earlier this year, will come equipped with Tata’s innovative dual-cylinder technology, which promises better fuel efficiency
