Tata’s new Nexon i-CNG is coming soon: All the details!
With the impending release of its new product, the Nexon i-CNG, for the Indian market, Tata will be able to further expand its CNG portfolio. Tata is poised to pose a serious threat to its rivals with the launch of its third CNG product.
New Nexon I-cng
Design & styling:
The forthcoming version of the Nexon I-CNG will be exactly like the one that is already on sale.
No changes will be made to the design from the inside out.
It will have a narrow strip of LED up front, projectors mounted on the bumper with an attractive alloy design, and a crisp connecting LED with a powerful rear design in the back.
It will look as sleek and modern as the newest generation of Tata cars.
The interior will be identical to the present Nexon, with the exception of the new i-cng switch and cng level indication on the Digital Instrument Cluster.
This will have a dual-cng tank setup for a flat boot space, as well as an additional wheel under the body.
Two characteristics of this technology are the automobile starting in CNG mode and fast CNG refilling with its NGV1 nozzle.
Powertrain:
Tata will produce a 1.2-liter turbo-petrol engine specifically for this i-CNG variant, making it the first CNG SUV with that choice.
The engine of the Nexon generates 118.27 Bhp and a maximum torque of 170; however, the power output will be lower in the I-CNG variant to ensure fuel efficiency in the long run.
Tata’s initial product will most likely be a 6-speed manual transmission, but it might possibly come with an AMT version later on, replicated after the recently introduced Tigor & Tiago Cng AMT.
