| ![]() I drove the petrol tiago and the iCNG version this week (26th January), I had earlier inquired for the CNG version but they said they don't give test drives for CNG vehicles. Initially, I took a test drive of the petrol version which I ended pretty quickly. That's how bad the car was to drive. Perhaps the test drive vehicle was pretty old and rash driven a lot so the condition wasn't that good. Disappointed I was about to leave for home when I noticed an iCNG tiago being parked in front of the showroom. I asked the sales guy if I can start the car and get a feel of the vibrations and that I wont drive it. After starting the car, the sales guy joined in and said this is in fact a test drive car so we can take a drive. (this is TREO TATA, Safdarjung, Delhi) Points noted: the CNG car being a new one had considerably lesser vibrations than the petrol version, having said that if the petrol has a level 10 vibration the CNG has level 8 vibration. The steering wheel, gear nob and even the seat was vibrating, the vibrations are even more noticeable when the car is stationary. Accelerating the car makes the engine scream and gasping for air(or gas in this case ![]() Conclusion: The NVH levels are very disappointing, considering the same engine is in the Punch, the Punch is a lot more refined and less audible. A car with so much vibration and engine noise is not ideal for an office ride everyday. I feel it will add to the stress after a long day at work and Delhi traffic. I had high hopes from the tigor and was really considering it for my next purchase, but I have striked it off my list. |

| ![]() I am sharing the below comments basis my usage of Hyundai Santro Sports Edition in CNG mode. Though I could never get myself up to buy a CNG, the finance ministry was hellbent on it (as she was the primary driver of car). Happy wife is happy life ![]() Quote:

| ![]() Hello all, As usual, amazing and detailed review!! However I was just thinking about this lack of boot space question. Hopefully the more knowledgeable members can answer Can the CNG tank be integrated into the spare wheel space of the car?? With most cars having tubeless tyres, the need for stopping and changing the tyre immediately is minimised to a great extent. Plus every town or village which is even reasonably near the highway (National and State) would have a tyre shop now. So the compromise here would be the lack of a spare tyre. But at least minimal boot space would be provided in return. So is this feasible / possible? |

| ![]() Great review and pardon me if I missed about petrol tank capacity ? Surely when need of power is there for shorter duration ,petrol could be used. |

| ![]() Excellent review as usual. Good to know the integration has been great by TATA. ![]() Any idea what's the boot space in case of Tigor as it had a larger one(400L?) compared to Tiago(242L). If one wants some boot-space along with CNG maybe Tigor is a better option? |

| ![]() When WagonR LPG was launched in 2007 or 2008, the LPG tank was in the position of spare wheel. Why cant the OEMs design such an arrangement for CNG? Is there any technical limitations? Such an arrangement would have saved the precious little boot space. |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() I see lots of comments talking about boot space or the lack of it. Following two videos should help you: Tiago: Tigor |

Maybe if the manufacturers see a rising demand for CNG vehicles among private buyers, they'd probably offer the Type 4 cylinder sometime in the future. Quote:

Even the Wagon R's boot looks cramped and ugly. There is no parcel tray as well. The above "cons" are generalized ones and not particular for Tata alone. | |
