Tata Nexon CNG is coming with Turbo-Petrol CNG Engine
Tata Motors has achieved a noteworthy milestone in the Indian automobile industry with the Nexon emerging as the first turbocharged SUV to offer a Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) option.
Tata Nexon CNG will be sold Alongside popular models like the Punch, Harrier, and Safari, Tata Motors has gained prominence as a leading car brand, surpassing Maruti Suzuki in terms of value. During the Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2024, Tata Motors revealed ambitious plans for new vehicles, underscoring their commitment to innovation.
Traditionally associated with conventional petrol engines, CNG finds a novel application in the Tata Nexon i-CNG concept, which features a distinctive 1.2-liter turbocharged engine. This engine delivers 120 PS power and 170 Nm torque in Tata Nexon CNG when operating on petrol, albeit with a reduction in power when running on CNG. While the turbo petrol Nexon offers both manual and automatic transmission options, the CNG variant has a more limited range of choices.
