Boot Space Takes A Hit
Similar to their manual counterparts, all these models continue to house the CNG tank inside the boot along with the spare wheel, leaving negligible space for luggage. On the other hand, their key rivals, such as the Tata Tiago, Hyundai Grand i10 Nios, Tata Tigor, Hyundai Aura and Tata Altroz, offer twin CNG cylinders, thus freeing up some usable space inside the boot.
