Sales of CNG powertrains are gradually increasing as the cost of gasoline and diesel rises! These indigenous engine choices are ideal for city driving and provide great fuel economy. A absence of an automatic gearbox option caused the majority of customers to reject CNG cars in the past. But these three CNG automated vehicles cost less than Rs 11 lakh!
Tata Tiago
The Tata twin-CNG hatchback is the first vehicle on the list. A 1.2-liter gasoline engine with a max torque of 95 Nm and 72 horsepower powers the Tata Tiago. It is coupled to a 5-speed manual and 5-speed AMT gearbox. Regarding fuel efficiency, the CNG AMT hatchback achieves a mileage of 28.06 km/kg for the AMT variant.
A 7-inch infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, automated headlights, rain-sensing wipers, fog lamps, and a rear parking camera are just a few of the goodies available on the Tata Tiago CNG. It’s ideal for lengthy travels because the hatchback dual-cylinder technology guarantees plenty of cargo capacity. Regarding cost, the Tata Tiago iCNG AMT model is being offered for Rs 8.69 lakh (in Mumbai, on-road).
Tata Tigor
In the Indian market, the Tata Tigor, the sedan sibling of the Tiago, is an additional CNG AMT option. A 1.2-liter gasoline engine with 72 horsepower and 95 Nm paired with an AMT or manual gearbox is also included with this model. In its AMT mated models, the Tigor iCNG offers the same mileage as the Tiago, or 28.06 km/kg.
Since dual CNG technology was also used in its development, the entire boot space is accessible. Aside from that, the Tigor’s package includes equipment like an autofolding ORVM, rain-sensing wipers, steering-mounted controls, a 7-inch infotainment touchscreen, Leatherette upholstery, automatic climate control, and more. When it comes to Cost, the Tata Tigor iCNG starts at Rs 9.88 lakh for its AMT variant.
Honda Amaze
The tiny sedan Honda Amaze rounds out the list. The dealer now offers the CNG automatic option for the new Honda Amaze. Regarding the drivetrain, the Honda Amaze retains its 1.2-liter naturally aspirated gasoline engine. This unit can be paired with manual or CVT gears to provide 110 Nm of torque and 89 horsepower. In terms of cost, the Honda Amaze CNG automatic versions are one lakh more expensive than the base model.
Honda will also be introducing the redesigned Amaze, which has substantial cosmetic and interior modifications. The cabin and features of the new Amaze will be improved. Nonetheless, we anticipate Honda will introduce the Amaze refresh by this holiday season.
