Tata Nexon iCNG - Engine Specs 

Tata Nexon iCNG is expected to feature a 1.2-litre turbo-petrol engine that delivers a power output of 118 bhp and 170 Nm of torque. While the exact power output in CNG mode hasn't been revealed yet, this will be the first instance of such a combination in the Indian market. It is anticipated to provide a more robust performance compared to traditional CNG models equipped with naturally aspirated engines.

Tata Nexon iCNG - Safety Features 

Tata Motors is emphasising on safety in the Nexon iCNG with several modern technologies. These include a micro-switch that automatically turns off the engine during refuelling and leak-proof materials for the CNG kit to prevent gas leakage. Additionally, thermal incident protection will be incorporated to guard against overheating and related accidents.

Tata Nexon iCNG - Price 

The introduction of the CNG variants will lead to a price increase. This will apply regardless of whether Tata Motors opts for the turbo-petrol combination or the reliable 1.2-litre naturally aspirated engine, which is currently used in the Altroz and Punch CNG models.

Tata Nexon iCNG System 

Similar to other modern Tata CNG vehicles, the Nexon iCNG will use twin-cylinder technology. This involves two smaller cylinders instead of one large cylinder, which helps save boot space. The Nexon iCNG will come with a single ECU (Engine Control Unit) for better system management. This ECU will support features such as automatic fuel switching, direct start in CNG mode, a leak detection system and a modular fuel filter design.
