As per the reports, the Tata Altroz iCNG’s 3 variants, namely – XM+ (S), XZ+ (S) and XZ+ O (S) are expected to feature the premium feature panoramic sunroof.

The Altroz is already high on the safety quotient with up to six airbags, ABS with EBD and stability control among others.
Tata Altroz iCNG – Twin-CNG Tank Tech:
The Altroz iCNG comes with Tata Motors’ industry-first twin-CNG tank technology that allows the car to directly start on CNG mode, like its siblings Tiago CNG and Tiago CNG. No other CNG car in the country has this capability.
Moreover, the new CNG twin-tank tech also frees up a lot of cargo space, as the tank is split into two smaller tanks that are efficiently tucked below the floor.
Tata Altroz iCNG – Powertrain:
The Altroz iCNG gets powered by the same 1.2-litre, three-cylinder petrol engine as that of the regular Altroz. The engine will be mated to a 5-speed manual transmission only. On the CNG mode, the engine offers 77hp of max power and 97Nm of peak torque down from the petrol figures 86hp and 113Nm.
Tata Altroz iCNG: Expected Price, Launch & Rivals:
The official market launch of the Tata Altroz iCNG will take place this month, followed by deliveries soon. Prices will be officially announced during the launch event, but the CNG version is expected to be around Rs 90,000 dearer than the car’s petrol counterparts.
The Altroz iCNG will go head on with the Maruti Suzuki Baleno CNG and its rebadged twin Toyota Glanza CNG.
