Tata Altroz iCNG - India’s No-compromise CNG Car

The Altroz can be had with petrol, diesel, and CNG powertrains

Tata Motors has a history of creating disruptions in the market. When the Altroz was launched in 2020, it became the only hatchback to receive a 5-star Global NCAP adult safety rating, earning the reputation of India's safest hatchback. Its design has been highly praised by customers and automotive experts alike. 

With three engine options - naturally aspirated petrol, i-Turbo, and diesel - the Altroz caters to a wide range of car buyers. Altroz has set the gold standard for its design, safety, technology, performance, and features. It is also India’s only diesel hatchback. 

The Altroz iCNG solves the biggest problem that a CNG owner faces - boot space. This ground-breaking technology in Altroz iCNG is being cheered by CNG customers as a revolutionary change in CNG cars. 

No Compromise on Boot Space

Tata Altroz iCNG’s main highlight is its no-compromise boot space. This is a revolutionary change from the current lot of CNG cars that have a huge gas tank, which occupies more than 90 per cent of the boot capacity. Tata Motors has intelligently solved this problem with the Altroz iCNG. India’s first twin-cylinder CNG technology in Altroz facilitates luggage area that ensures boot space similar to petrol cars.  

The spare wheel for the Altroz iCNG is placed below the underbody, ensuring the best utilisation of space while making the tyre changes faster and more convenient. There’s no compromise on boot space, fuel tank capacity, and spare wheel. 

No Compromise on features

The Altroz iCNG is offered with premium features,making sure customers do not have to compromise on high-end features when choosing a CNG car. 

For the first time in India in the hatchback category, CNG customers will get voice assisted electric sunroof, wireless charger and air purifier that will truly impress. You can open the electric sunroof in Altroz with 26 interesting commands in Hindi and English. For example you can say “open sunroof, show me the sky or khul ja sim-sim and mujhe sitare dikhao.” 

The wireless charger is a very useful feature when you are going on long drives and have forgotten to carry your charger. The air purifier in the Altroz ensures you and your family stays fresh no matter how polluted the outside environment is. Also, these new features are available with petrol and diesel engine options. 

In addition to that, Altroz has auto headlamps, rain-sensing wipers, connected car features, leatherette seats, rear AC vents, 90-degree opening door, rear flat floor and much more on offer 

No Compromise on Safety

Safety is the top priority, and Tata Motors has led the way by introducing a range of safe vehicles. True to the commitment to safety in the Altroz, utmost priority has been given to safety in the Altroz iCNG. 

The 6-point mounting system for the CNG tanks and enhanced rear body structure provide additional rear crash safety for the Altroz iCNG. The twin cylinders located below the luggage area offer the safest solution, as the valves and pipes are protected under the load floor, minimizing the risk of potential damage. Micro switch turns off the ignition as soon as the fuel lid is opened and keeps it off until the lid is securely closed. 

Intelligent CNG technology With Superior Driving Experience

The iCNG technology comes with a first-in-industry feature, the direct start in CNG mode, eliminating the hassle of switching modes. With this feature, you save fuel every time you start the car. 

Another first-in-industry feature is the single advanced ECU, enabling seamless shifting between CNG and petrol modes while maintaining optimum air-fuel ratio. Customers generally feel a jerk while driving competition CNG cars, which have a dual interdependent ECU. The iCNG technology also features a modular fuel filter that requires cartridge changes, reducing hazardous waste and lowering maintenance costs.

The twin cylinders located below the luggage area contribute to a more planted drive by lowering the centre of gravity.

No Compromise on Performance

Tata Motors has understood that consumers expect CNG cars to deliver the same performance as petrol cars, without compromising on power. The Altroz iCNG provides superior drive performance with its powerful 1.2L Revotron Engine. With 73.5 PS of power and 103 Nm of torque, the Altroz iCNG provides superior drives in CNG mode.

The Altroz's low-end torque is the best in its segment, reducing the need for frequent gear shifts and ensuring effortless drives in both stop-start city traffic and various terrains. The improved low-end torque, along with better in-gear acceleration, enhances overtaking capabilities, making the engine feel more powerful. 

The Altroz iCNG is available in four attractive colours: Downtown Red, Arcade Grey, Avenue White, and Opera Blue. It’s offered at an introductory price starting from Rs 7.55 lakh and is available from the base variant XE to the top variant XZ+ O (S).
