Tata Tiago & Tigor CNG to get AMT option; bookings open

Dealerships have started accepting pre-bookings for a token amount of Rs 21,000.

Tata Motors is gearing up to launch India’s first CNG-powered cars with an automatic gearbox. The Tiago and Tigor CNG will soon be offered with an AMT option and dealerships have already started accepting pre-bookings for a token amount of Rs 21,000.

The Tiago iCNG AMT will be available in XTA, XZA+ and XZA NRG trims, while the Tigor iCNG AMT will come in XZA and XZA+ variants.

The Tiago and Tigor iCNG models are powered by a 1.2-litre 3-cylinder engine that produces 72 BHP @ 6,000 rpm and 95 Nm @ 3,500 rpm in CNG mode. Currently, both models are offered with a 5-speed manual gearbox. Customers will soon get the option of a 5-speed AMT as well.

The Tiago and Tigor iCNG feature Tata’s dual-cylinder CNG tank technology. Instead of a single large CNG cylinder that gobbles up boot space, the cars are equipped with two smaller cylinders that fit under the luggage area.
