Tata Tiago and Tigor CNG Launching On January 19, Variants Leaked

• Tata Tiago CNG to come in XM, XT, and XZ+ trims.
• On the other hand, the sedan’s CNG options will be limited to XZ and XZ+ trims.
• Power will be lower than the standard model’s 86PS 1.2-litre petrol engine.
• Likely to command a premium of Rs 90,000.

Tata Motors will kick start its CNG innings with the launch of the Tiago and Tigor CNG on January 19, 2022. Vehicles have already started reaching dealerships, and a select few have even commenced bookings. Ahead of the launch, we have got our hands on the variants list, and there is some good news. 

Unlike its rivals, Tata’s CNG options won’t be limited to the lower-spec trims. In case of the Tiago, the CNG option will be offered in the XM, XT, and XZ+ trims, while in the sub-4 metre sedan, it will be limited to the top-spec XZ and XZ+ trims. This gives both the Tatas an USP: a fully loaded CNG offering. 

In terms of features, the top-spec trims get a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, automatic climate control, keyless entry, a digitised instrument cluster, steering-mounted audio controls, a Harman sound system, and keyless entry (Tigor only). 

Passenger safety is taken care of by dual airbags, ABS with EBD, rear parking sensors, and a rear-view camera. 

Both models will get Tata’s 86PS 1.2-litre petrol engine, but power will be lower when driving them in CNG mode. A 5-speed manual transmission is the only option to keep costs in check. The CNG tank occupies the boot, and there is almost zero boot space. So one should keep that in mind while picking up these models. 

The Tiago and Tigor CNG is likely to command a premium of Rs 90,000 over the standard petrol trims. The Tiago starts from Rs 5 lakh, while the sedan is priced from Rs 5.67 lakh (both prices ex-showroom pan-India) onwards. The hatchback will fight it out with the Grand i10 Nios CNG and Maruti Wagon R CNG while the sedan locks horns with the Aura CNG.
