There are eight trim levels for the Nexon CNG, with prices ranging from Rs 8.99 to Rs 14.59 lakh. With its twin-cylinder engine, it provides a practical 321-liter boot space.
Tata Motors has finally introduced the long-awaited Nexon CNG in India after a protracted wait. The sub-four-meter SUV with iCNG is available in eight trim levels and costs between Rs 8.99 lakh and Rs 14.59 lakh (all prices ex-showroom), over Rs 1 lakh more than the corresponding variants with gasoline alone.
The Nexon iCNG: Specs
The Nexon iCNG is equipped with a 6-speed manual transmission and has a maximum output of 98.6 horsepower and 170 Nm, both of which come from the same 1.2-liter turbo-petrol engine. The Nexon iCNG does not currently have an automatic transmission. The Nexon CNG is advertised as having a 24 km/kg mileage.
Considering that Tata’s CNG lineup uses twin technology, which consists of two 60-liter CNG tanks, this Brezza competitor still has 321 liters of usable space. Leak detection, heat protection, a fire safety kit, and direct start for CNG fuel are among the additional CNG-specific improvements that are also available in this model.
