Tata Motors, has launched the Altroz iCNG in India with a starting price of Rs 7.55 lakhs (ex-showroom). The hatchback adds to the CNG vehicle portfolio of automaker. However, it sets itself apart from the other models by becoming the first hatchback in India to have a sunroof. Furthermore, this is the first time Tata Motors’ dual-cylinder set-up has been used in one of the models.
Talking about the exterior, the Altroz iCNG presents no differences compared to the petrol version of the car. The car can only be differentiated because of the presence of the iCNG badge on the rear of the car. However, the differences are visible in the interiors. It now gets two 30-litre tanks instead of one big CNG tank to leave some bootspace. In other words, the car offers 210-litre boot space.

The Altroz iCNG comes equipped with advanced features such as Voice-assisted Electric Sunroof, Wireless charger and Air purifier. After Tiago and Tigor, the Altroz iCNG is the third CNG offering in the personal segment only. Making CNG a cool proposition for young car buyers.
Commenting on the launch, Mr. Shailesh Chandra, Managing Director, Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles Ltd. and Tata Passenger Electric Mobility Ltd., said: “Customers are increasingly choosing alternate fuel options with the intent of economical as well as eco-friendly drive. CNG as a fuel with its wide availability and accessibility has gained lot of acceptance. However, opting for a CNG meant compromising on aspirational features and to give up boot space significantly. In January 2022, we addressed the first compromise by launching the advanced iCNG technology in Tiago and Tigor, offering superior performance and top -end features. Today, we are delighted to launch the Altroz iCNG, an industry first offering which will redefine the CNG market by addressing the major concern on boot space.
“The Altroz iCNG is a testament to our deep understanding of the customer’s need and our engineering prowess. With the breakthrough of the twin-cylinder CNG technology and advance features we are expecting more personal segment buyers to strongly consider this option. Our multi-powertrain strategy in the Altroz portfolio today offers petrol, diesel, iturbo and iCNG, providing an array of options for the customers to choose from. The Altroz iCNG will bolster our expansive New Forever range and continue to sustain our growth momentum in passenger cars.
The Altroz iCNG is offered across six variants, XE, XM+, XM+(S), XZ, XZ+(S)and XZ+O(S), and is available in four colour options, Opera Blue, Downtown Red, Arcade Grey and Avenue White. It also reduces the total cost of ownership further with 3 years / 100000 km as standard warranty.
