Tata Nexon CNG To Offer More Tech Than Brezza CNG - Launch By Sept

While Tata Motors is preparing for the launch of its first coupe SUV - the Curvv, some are also waiting for the CNG-powered Nexon. The Nexon CNG closer-to-production model was previously showcased at the first edition of the Bharat Mobility Show. Expected to launch by September 2024, the Nexon i-CNG will offer more tech features than the CNG-powered Brezza.

Here are some top features of the Tata Nexon CNG:

Twin Cylinder Tech

Tata is the first car brand in India to use this unique twin-cylinder technology. In this setup, the car gets a factory-fitted CNG kit with two CNG tanks underneath the boot floor. This eventually provides more space for luggage. The brand offers this twin-cylinder CNG tech in its popular cars such as Tigor, Punch, Altroz, and Tiago. In the coming months, the Nexon CNG will also join the lineup with the same dual-cylinder technology.

Turbo Petrol CNG

Besides adopting the twin-cylinder technology, the Nexon CNG will also be the first turbo petrol CNG car to be introduced in India. It will get a 1.2-litre turbo petrol motor that can churn out the maximum power of 118 bhp and 170 Nm of torque. However, for the CNG mode, the power typically goes down. The exact power output is yet to be revealed.

More Features

The Nexon CNG will offer a variety of comfort and convenience features. It is believed to have a longer feature list than the Brezza.

Some of its features might include a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment unit with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, a fully digital instrument cluster, ventilated & height-adjustable front seats, touch controls for AC function, and more.

Could Be Offered With AMT

For the regular Nexon, powering the 1.2-litre turbo petrol, Tata offers multiple transmission options including 5-speed manual, 6-speed manual, AMT, and 7-speed DCT. As for the Nexon CNG, the brand could offer only a 5-speed manual gearbox. However, the automatic gearbox could also be introduced as it is available with the CNG-powered Tigor and Tiago.

More Safety Features

The latest Nexon has been awarded a 5-star safety rating by the Global New Car Assessment Programme (GNCAP). It comes with six airbags, 3-point ELR, ISOFIX, an Electronic Stability Program, Auto-Dimming IRVM, and Rer Defogger. For the CNG variant, we can expect the same aforementioned safety features with some additional ones such as a 360-degree camera.
