Tata Altroz iCNG bookings open now, to be offered with twin CNG cylinders

By India Today Auto DeskTata Motors today opened bookings for the CNG version of its Altroz premium hatchback, the Tata Altroz iCNG, for a token amount of Rs 21,000. Unveiled at the Auto Expo 2023, the Tata Altroz iCNG is India’s first CNG car with twin CNG cylinders.

The homegrown auto major is the maiden original equipment manufacturer (OEM) in India to introduce twin-cylinder CNG technology in passenger vehicles. The deliveries of the Altroz iCNG will commence in May 2023.

The Tata Altroz range now has petrol, turbo-petrol, diesel and CNG powertrains.

The best part about the Tata Altroz iCNG is that the CNG cylinders, each having a capacity of 30 litres, are placed below the luggage area, ensuring generous boot space.

The car has a single advanced ECU for a seamless and jerk-free drive experience while shifting from petrol to CNG mode or vice versa. It can start directly in CNG mode without the need to switch to petrol mode.

The Altroz iCNG has additional safety features like thermal incident protection, gas leak detection feature and micro switch to ensure the car is switched off at the time of refuelling. It comes with a standard warranty of three years or 100,000 kilometres.

Tata Motors is offering the Altroz iCNG in four variants — XE, XM+, XZ and XZ+. There are as many colour options — Opera Blue, Downtown Red, Arcade Grey and Avenue White.

Among the notable features in the car are automatic headlamps, alloy wheels, leatherette seats, touchscreen infotainment system, semi-digital instrument cluster, iRA connected car technology and cruise control.
