A burst tyre cannot be patched with a repair kit, if you haven't experienced it, it doesn't mean someone else won't.

It is something like carrying medicines when you're going for a long trip, you aren't sick but we still carry them for just in case, similar goes for a innumerable things.

Removing spare wheel is a major issue and we don't need to be supporting manufacturers for making critical decisions like this.

I am really hoping there is no clause which forbids a buyer to buy a spare and keep it in the boot.

EDIT: Never mind, there is a spare wheel, Innova style.

This was my query too, good to see the spare wheel being present. However how in the world is that spare wheel supposed to be removed by a single person on the roadside?

That is a breath of fresh air , it's really innovative of Tata to put such a package together. I really think they should incorporate the location of spare wheel in their ads/promotion.

While I know that Maruti is a stubborn and spoiled child and we really can't expect it from them, but I hope that such type of implementation by Tata makes other manufacturers to go this route as well.

Altroz is like the experimental car for TaMo. Alpha platform, DCA and now Twin CNG come to Altroz.

Waiting for the Racer version with Turbo + DCA + Big screen. Will be able to sell more and compete with i20 and Baleno.

Tata Motors has very smartly integrated CNG technology on Altroz. Many segment 1st features implemented by taking care of all the shortcomings any CNG owner has been facing for years and years.

Very good space management by taking care of luggage space and spare tyre placement. I'm sure people will be impressed with this methodology, especially the customers in Delhi-NCR region where petrol vehicles have been dominating the sales. With the decrease in CNG price + overcoming years of usual CNG shortcomings + mileage, this should sell more.

I think Tata motors will apply this type of CNG integration to all of their CNG-equipped future cars.

Why not put the spare in the same place in the regular Altroz and give customers a bigger boot? Or is the spare in that location an issue for GC?

It's 60 litres in total, 30 litres in each tank.

Maximum 9-10 Kgs of CNG (4-5 kgs in each cylinder) if the pressure at the CNG station is really good. In Delhi, majority of the IGL pumps have 200-210 bars of pressure. Assuming 10 Kgs of CNG on a full refill, you can easily get a range of 200-250 kms.

Tata Altroz iCNG brochure leaked; 3 variants get sunroof

Last month, Tata Motors opened its order books for the Altroz iCNG. As per the brochure, the car will be available in six variants, with half of them getting an electric sunroof option.



The Altroz iCNG will be offered in XE, XM+, XM+ (S), XZ, XZ+ (S) and XZ+ O (S) trims. Out of these the XM+ (S), XZ+ (S) and XZ+ O (S) variants will be offered with an electric sunroof with voice assist.



The base XE trim is rather sparsely equipped. Apart from the standard safety features, it gets a 4-inch digital instrument cluster. The XM+ variant gets a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system with 4 speakers, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, steering-mounted controls, voice assist, What3Words navigation, central locking, remote keyless entry, electric foldable ORVMs as well as front and rear USB sockets.



The top-spec XZ+ O (S) variant is expected to be offered with leather seats, Brake Sway Control, a rearview camera with dynamic guideways, auto headlamps, a rear fog lamp, height adjustable front seat belts, an 8-speaker audio system, connected car tech with Remote Vehicle Control through Smartphone, TPMS, automatic climate control with rear AC vents, an air purifier, and a wireless charger.



The Altroz iCNG uses the same 1.2-litre, 3-cylinder petrol engine as the standard Altroz. It makes 84 BHP and 113 Nm when running on petrol and 76 BHP and 103 Nm in CNG mode.

Thanks to Shashwat for sending these images in. Heartfelt gratitude for sharing them with other enthusiasts via this Team-BHP share page!

As per the brochure, the iCNG also gets a shark fin antenna and front and rear USB charging which makes me wonder when will Tata update the features list to the regular models

There is a possibility that they might silently bring the same to the regular models as well. When the Tiago i-CNG came out, the regular Tiago also got the newly added DRLs and Projector Head lamps and all the chrome bling that the i-CNG got.

I remember this correctly because we had booked the regular Tiago before the launch of the i-CNG and the Service Advisor called me to ask if I would like to update my booking to get a April MY 22 car with these features at an additional 22k (onroad) or continue with the existing booking an get the car sooner.

Since we were in no hurry to get the car, we took the deal.

That’s promising. I’m looking to get the iTurbo varient as I thought the Racer would be launched soon but since that’s not going to happen, I would have to stick to the iTurbo.

Air purifier and rear USB charging is a good addition but would have preferred the new infotainment from Harrier/Safari with Nexon tune engine and 6 speed gearbox.

I believe, the new infotainment system will come as part of the altroz racer. I suggest you stick to the racer edition. It's superior in every respect.
