Tata Tiago & Tigor iCNG AMT
The company has initiated bookings for both cars, although the official launch date is yet to be disclosed. The Tiago & Tigor iCNG AMT will feature a 1.2-liter naturally aspirated petrol+CNG engine. Both vehicles incorporate advanced dual-cylinder technology and a single ECU, facilitating seamless transitions between petrol and CNG modes. Additionally, both vehicles can be started in CNG mode.
Moreover, expanding on the existing color options, the company has introduced intriguing new choices, including Tornado Blue for the Tiago, Grassland Beige for the Tiago NRG, and Meteor Bronze for the Tigor.
The vehicles will maintain the same set of features with a 7-inch infotainment system, a semi-digital driver display, and an 8-speaker sound system. Safety elements like dual front airbags, ABS and EBD, TPMS, and a rear parking camera.
The vehicles will retain their existing set of features, with no modifications to the feature list. The Tiago iCNG AMT will be offered in three variants XTA CNG, XZA+ CNG, and XZA NRG, while the Tigor iCNG AMT will come in two variants XZA CNG and XZA+ CNG.
Tata Tiago & Tigor CNG Engine Specifications
Presently, the Tata Tiago & Tigor iCNG boasts a power output of 73.5bhp and a torque of 95Nm, and it is exclusively offered with a five-speed manual transmission. We don't expect any alterations in the power and torque specifications for the AMT variants.
Verdict
The upcoming AMT variants of the Tata Tiago & Tigor iCNG are poised to significantly boost the demand for both vehicles. Currently, CNG car buyers have to choose manual transmission, and the introduction of AMT will provide them with a more convenient driving experience. We anticipate the CNG AMT variants to be priced Rs 60,000 to 75,000 higher than the MT variants. Equipped with the AMT gearbox, the Tiago iCNG is expected to present stiff competition to the Maruti Suzuki Swift CNG and the Hyundai Grand i10 NIOS CNG. Similarly, the Tigor iCNG AMT is anticipated to pose a strong challenge to the Hyundai Aura CNG and Maruti Suzuki Dzire CNG.
