Tata Motors will launch the Nexon Compact SUV with a CNG powertrain within FY2025, the brand confirmed recently. Earlier this year, the Nexon CNG was showcased as the Nexon iCNG concept at the Bharat Mobility Show.
Tata Nexon CNG to Launch in FY2025 – What to Expect?
The Nexon CNG will be similar to the standard Nexon when it comes to both outside and inside as well as features and specifications. However, there will be a few tweaks for the CNG powertrain which includes changes to the suspension and a couple of iCNG badges here and there to identify it among its lineup.
The CNG-powered Nexon will get the same 1.2-litre, 3-cylinder turbocharged engine from the petrol variants, meaning it will be the first-ever CNG vehicle with a turbocharged engine in India. Furthermore, Tata recently introduced the AMT variants of the Tigor and Tiago CNG, hence the Nexon CNG might also get an AMT transmission.
Once launched in India, the Nexon will be the only car in India to provide a wide variety of powertrain options to choose from which includes petrol, diesel and CNG with multiple transmission options as well as a fully electric variant. The Nexon CNG will directly compete with the Brezza CNG in the Indian market.
