Can the Tata Nexon CNG be a game changer for the eco-conscious SUV lover?

India's first CNG powered compact SUV has made its entry, the Tata Nexon CNG is creating waves. That has got people talking about whether this could be the perfect middle ground between petrol/diesel SUVs and fully electric vehicles. While there are some folks super excited about the potential fuel savings, greenhouse gas emissions reduction, and perhaps most of all, the supposedly rev'happy nature of CNG, there are also plenty of skeptics who just don't see CNG making much sense in an SUV. Besides, can a CNG SUV give us the kind of punch we expect out of the Nexon? Not to mention safety concerns, given how CNG is known. Besides, if the government is seeking to promote electric vehicles, is investing in CNG technology a good long term step? The debate about it has been stirring with car enthusiasts and environmentally oriented buyers.
