I’m planning to purchase my first CNG automobile with a finances of Rs 8 lakh-8.5 lakh (on-road), and I’ve shortlisted the Tata Tigor iCNG and Tata Altroz iCNG. Is there an enormous deficit in efficiency in comparison with a petroleum car? What is the precise working price I can anticipate?

Autocar India says: Prices for the Altroz iCNG have not been introduced in the meanwhile, nonetheless, the entry-level variants are more likely to fall inside your finances. Compared to the Tigor, the Altroz is extra spacious and feels extra fashionable and premium too. In addition, Tata has cleverly packaged the CNG tanks beneath the boot ground, so baggage area is not compromised like within the Tigor iCNG; nonetheless, this association within the Altroz iCNG comes at the price of a spare tyre, however to compensate, Tata will present a tyre restore package in case of an emergency.

We have not pushed the Altroz iCNG but, so we will not offer you a definitive opinion on its efficiency, however going by our expertise after extensively testing the Tigor iCNG, anticipate efficiency to really feel practically similar to the petrol model. Running prices are more likely to be just like the Tigor iCNG too. In our take a look at, the CNG Tigor returned an effectivity of 16.85km/kg within the metropolis and 25.86km/kg on the freeway, which, on the fee of Rs 79/kg of CNG in Mumbai, equates to a working price of Rs 4.7/km within the metropolis and three.05/km on the freeway – considerably decrease than the petrol’s common working worth of Rs 8.3/km.
