Tata Tiago CNG and Tigor CNG – Powertrain

Powering the Tiago and Tigor CNG is the same 86PS 1.2-litre, 3-cylinder petrol engine. However, the power output will be lower (73PS) when running on CNG. A 5-speed manual transmission is standard for the cleaner fuel to keep costs in check.

Both these cars can be started directly on CNG, which Tata describes as a segment-first feature.

New Features and Colour Options

For starters, Tata has added a new Midnight Plum shade to Tiago’s existing list of colour options that include Flame Red, Pearl White, Daytona Grey, and Arizona Blue. Its interiors too have been finished in a premium black-&-beige theme with new fabric seat upholstery.

Other additions to the hatchback comprise new projector headlamps, LED DRLs, and chrome finish on the front grille, door handles, and boot lip.

Speaking of the Tigor, it gets a new ‘Magnetic Red’ paint option, which will also be available with a blacked-out roof option. Similar to the Tiago, its cabin also gets a dual-tone black and beige theme with new seat fabric. Additional features include automatic headlamps and rain-sensing wipers.

Apart from this, both the models also get a revised digitized instrument cluster (features CNG gauge) and fuel-lid cut-off system which shuts down the engine when the fuel lid is open.

All of these changes are done across its petrol and CNG lineup.

Competitors

While the Tiago CNG goes up against the CNG versions of Maruti Wagon R, Celerio, and Hyundai Santro, the Tigor locks horns with the Hyundai Aura CNG and the upcoming Maruti Dzire CNG.
