Tata Tiago NRG CNG: exterior, interior, and features
Recently, Tata Motors expanded the variant line-up of the petrol-powered Tiago NRG by introducing the mid spec XT trim. Since the Tiago NRG CNG is based on the XT and XZ trims like its petrol counterpart, it shares the same design details and features.
Its rugged exterior styling elements on the top-spec XZ trim variant include the faux roof rails and skid plates, a blacked-out B-pillar and wing mirrors, 15-inch steel wheels, black plastic cladding along the lower section of the body and over the wheel arches, and a thick thick plastic trim on the tailgate with CNG badging. Tata has placed the 60-litre CNG tank in the boot of the cross-hatchback which in turn robs storage space.
The interior of the Tiago NRG CNG also sees no changes as it retains the all-black colour scheme with fabric seats. Some of the highlighting features on the top-spec XZ trim of the Tiago NRG CNG include fog lamps, a 7-inch touchscreen system with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity, Harman sound system, a cooled glovebox, engine start/stop button, and height adjustable driver’s seat. Safety kit includes dual airbags, ABS with EBD, rear parking sensors, and a day-night rear-view mirror.
Tata Tiago NRG CNG: rivals
As the cross-hatch derivative of the Tiago, the Tiago NRG does not have any direct rivals in the market. However, in terms of price the Tiago NRG CNG does compete against the CNG versions of the Maruti Suzuki Swift (Rs 7.77 lakh-8.45 lakh) and the Hyundai Grand i10 Nios (Rs 7.16 lakh-8.45 lakh).
