Powertrain
The upcoming Nexon i-CNG variant will feature a 1.2-litre turbo petrol engine paired with a factory-fitted twin-cylinder CNG kit. The CNG cylinders have a capacity of 60 liters, ensuring a balance between fuel efficiency and usable boot space, estimated at around 230 liters. The Nexon i-CNG will bolster safety with features like a micro switch, modular fuel filter, leakage-proof materials, thermal incident protection, single advanced ECU, direct start in CNG mode, auto-fuel switching, and a leak detection system.
Verdict
The Nexon CNG making its debut soon, will add a new dimension to the compact SUV. Currently facing stiff competition from Mahindra XUV300, Maruti Brezza, and the Kia Sonet, a fourth powertrain option will help Tata Nexon to widen its customer base and better position itself in the market.
