The Altroz CNG’s dual cylinder setup eats less boot space than regular CNG kit setup. The cylinders are placed above the rear floor and each one of them has a capacity of 30-litres. The Tata Altroz CNG has also been packed with first-in-segment Single Advanced EUC (engine control unit) and Direct State CNG system. The hatchback gets faster refuling, modular fuel filter and auto switch between fuels. It allows to switch off the engine during refuling through a micro switch. The Altroz is also the first CNG model to feature leakage detection technology that ensures a switch to petrol in case of a gas leak.
Design and features of the Tata Altroz CNG are exactly similar to the regular petrol and diesel model. Though, it has the CNG sticker on the front and rear windshields. The hatchback’s CNG version is likely to be based on the top-end trim that comes equipped with features such as a 7-inch Harman infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, height adjustable driver seat, leatherette seat upholstery, electric sunroof, automatic climate control, projector headlamps, LED DRLs, shark fin antenna R16 dual-tone alloy wheels, auto folding ORVMs, and 6 airbags.
Once launched, the Altroz CNG will go head-to-head against the CNG versions of the Toyota Glanza and Maruti Suzuki Baleno. Compared to its regular petrol counterpart, the CNG Altroz is expected to cost around Rs 60,000 – Rs 80,000 higher.
