Unlike the Tata Tiago, where Tata Motors has launched a separate CNG model, offering a wider range of variants, Hyundai does not have a dedicated CNG model for the Grand i10 Nios. Instead, Hyundai integrates the CNG powertrain option within its existing petrol variants.
This results in fewer CNG options for the Grand i10 Nios, with only two variants available. The Tata Tiago CNG's prices start at around Rs 6.95 lakh and go up to Rs 8.90 lakh. In contrast, the Hyundai Grand i10 Nios CNG starts at Rs 7.68 lakh and goes up to Rs 8.23 lakh.
Hyundai Grand i10 Nios CNG Vs Tata Tiago CNG: Under The Hood
| Specs | Tata Tiago CNG | Hyundai Grand i10 Nios CNG |
|---|---|---|
| Engine | 1.2L Revotron Bi Fuel CNG Engine, 3 cylinders | 1.2 Kappa Bi-Fuel engine, 4 cylinders |
