Experience the Next Level of Premium Hatch with the Altroz iCNG by Tata Motors

Kochi, May 22, 2023: Tata Motors, India’s leading automobile manufacturer, introduces the Altroz iCNG, equipped with India’s first twin-cylinder CNG technology. With no compromise on boot space, the Altroz iCNG sets a new standard in the segment. Packed with best-in-class features, this premium hatchback offers unmatched comfort and luxury.

Advanced Features and Unmatched Comfort

The Altroz iCNG comes with advanced features including a Voice-assisted Electric Sunroof, Wireless charger, and Air purifier. Following the success of iCNG technology in Tiago and Tigor, the Altroz iCNG becomes Tata Motors’ third CNG offering in the personal segment. To showcase the unique attributes of the Altroz iCNG and make CNG appealing to young car buyers, the Company has launched the “OMG! It’s CNG” campaign.

Shailesh Chandra, Managing Director of Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles Ltd. and Tata Passenger Electric Mobility Ltd., commented, “As customers increasingly opt for economical and eco-friendly driving options, CNG has gained significant acceptance due to its wide availability and accessibility. However, choosing CNG often meant compromising on aspirational features and sacrificing boot space. 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 that redefines the CNG market by addressing the major concern of boot space.”

Unmatched Safety and Impressive Design

The Altroz iCNG is built on the ALFA (Agile, Light, Flexible, and Advanced) Architecture platform, renowned for its safety and having received the 5-Star Global NCAP adult safety rating. With the use of ultra-high-strength steel and a reinforced body structure, the Altroz iCNG ensures robustness and rigidity. Safety features such as a micro-switch to switch off the car during refueling and thermal incident protection further enhance the safety of the vehicle. The twin cylinders, situated beneath the luggage area, provide the safest solution, protecting the valves and pipes under the load floor and minimizing potential damage. The enhanced rear body structure and the 6-point mounting system for the CNG tanks ensure additional rear crash safety.

Unparalleled Features and Intelligent Technology

The Altroz iCNG offers a range of premium features, including projector headlamps, LED DRLs, R16 diamond-cut alloy wheels, an 8-speaker touchscreen infotainment system by Harman™ with Android Auto™ and Apple Carplay™ connectivity, premium leatherette seats, fully automatic climate control, rear AC vents, and height-adjustable driver seat. The intelligent placement of the twin cylinders ensures boot space similar to that in internal combustion engine (ICE) cars. The Altroz iCNG also features an advanced Single ECU, enabling seamless and jerk-free shifting between petrol and CNG modes. The Direct Start in CNG mode eliminates the hassle of mode switching, allowing customers to save fuel every time they start the car.

Powerful Performance and Unmatched Efficiency

Equipped with a powerful 1.2L Revotron Engine, the Altroz iCNG offers remarkable performance. The advanced iCNG Technology delivers a power of 73.5 PS @ 6000 rpm and torque of 103 Nm @ 3500 rpm.
