A decade back CNG was only considered for small entry-level cars and the fleet segment when prices of petrol and diesel started to shoot up. With the Government of India pushing for alternative fuels, CNG as an option has gained wider acceptance in recent years. Even private consumers who have a high daily usage have started to opt for CNG.
The latest addition to the country’s CNG range is the Tata Nexon iCNG which was first introduced as a concept at the 2023 Auto Expo. It is the fourth CNG car in Tata Motors’ lineup after Tiago, Tigor, and Punch. However, it holds the distinction of being the first of many, which we’ll highlight as we move forward.
Tata Nexon iCNG Review: Design
There is no change whatsoever in the design of the Nexon iCNG as compared to the regular Nexon. It gets the same front and rear ends as the facelifted Nexon which was launched a year back with the sequential LED lights and a coupe-style sharply receding roofline. The only visual difference is the addition of the iCNG badge at the tailgate, slightly different alloy wheels with aero inserts, and this new Creative Ocean exterior colour scheme.
