In order to revolutionize the NGV market, Tata Motors announced that it will soon launch the Altroz iCNG, India’s first twin cylinder CNG technology, and that it is already open for bookings. With this vehicle, Tata Motors aims at increasing the acceptance of natural gas-powered cars in India.
The Altroz iCNG was unveiled at the Auto Expo 2023 in January 2023 and received a tremendous response from customers for being India’s first twin cylinder CNG technology – a revolutionary system bringing practical usable boot space to drivers, a feature that is unavailable in all current NGVs.
With deliveries commencing in May 2023, the Altroz iCNG is a strong testament to Tata Motors’ successful multi-powertrain strategy, making it the fourth powertrain option in the Altroz range now.
The Altroz iCNG will include:
- Innovative Twin Cylinder Technology with a total water capacity of 60 liters (each cylinder has 30 liters capacity) is placed below the luggage area to ensure a large usable boot space.
- Single Advanced ECU – It ensures a seamless and jerk free drive experience while shifting from petrol to CNG mode or vice versa.
- Direct start in CNG mode – the car will start directly in CNG mode to ensure a hassle-free experience and no worries on switching the fuel mode.
- Additional safety features – thermal incident protection, gas leak detection feature and micro switch to ensure the car is switched off at the time of refueling.
- Complete peace of mind with standard warranty of 3 year/ 100,000 km
The Altroz iCNG will be available in four variants – XE, XM+, XZ and XZ+ and in four color options- Opera Blue, Downtown Red, Arcade Grey and Avenue White. It will also boast of features like leatherette seats, iRA connected car technology, cruise control, and automatic headlamps amongst others.
