Tata Nexon iCNG Launched In India At Rs 8.99 Lakh; 24kms/kg Claimed Mileage

After a long wait, Tata Motors has finally launched a long impending Nexon CNG in India. Available across eight trims, the iCNG version of the sub-four metre SUV is priced from Rs 8.99 lakh which goes up to Rs 14.59 lakh (all prices, ex-showroom) making it almost Rs 1 lakh more expensive compared to the equivalent petrol-only versions.

Making use of the same 1.2-litre turbo-petrol engine, the maximum output of the Nexon iCNG is 98.6 bhp and 170 Nm and it is paired to a 6-speed manual transmission only. No Automatic transmission for the Nexon iCNG yet. The claimed mileage of the Nexon CNG is 24kms/kg. 

Given the twin technology used by Tata with their CNG line-up using a pair of 60-litre CNG tanks, this Brezza rival still has a usable space of 321 litres. Other CNG-specific changes we have seen on other offerings in the lineup are present here as well which include leak detection, thermal protection, fire protection kit, and direct start in CNG fuel.

Some of the notable features on the higher trims include voice assisted panoramic sunroof, a 10.25-inch touchscreen, ventilated front seats, a 360-degree camera, auto headlamps and wipers, and six airbags.
