Tata Tiago, Tigor CNG AMT: Mechanical Details

The Tiago and Tigor models are powered by a 1.2-litre petrol engine that produces 85bhp and 113Nm. With this, you can choose between a 5-speed manual or a 5-speed AMT transmission. However, If you opt for compressed natural gas (CNG) fuel, the same engine delivers lower output figures of 72bhp and 95Nm. The CNG variants are only available with a 5-speed manual gearbox, but Tata Motors now offers a 5-speed AMT as an option. This new transmission has been calibrated specifically to enhance low-speed driveability when maneuvering in tight spaces or dealing with stop-and-go traffic.

Compared to other CNG vehicles, the Tata Tiago and Tigor CNG models' segment-first dual-cylinder layout provides additional cargo space. These CNG vehicles also have an eight-speaker setup, auto air conditioning, a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system, and a semi-digital instrument cluster. A rear parking camera with sensors, a rear defogger, a tyre pressure monitor, and dual front airbags are part of its safety features. Price-wise, a significant premium is expected for the Tata Tigor and the Tiago CNG AMT versions.
