Tata Motors is gearing up to showcase an impressive lineup of eight products at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2024, scheduled for tomorrow, February 1, 2024. Among these offerings, one of the highlights will be the Nexon i-CNG, marking the fourth powertrain option for the popular Nexon nameplate, alongside petrol, diesel, and electric variants.
Innovative Powertrain Option
The Nexon i-CNG stands out as the first turbocharged compact SUV to feature a CNG powertrain option, adding to the versatility and eco-friendliness of the Nexon lineup. Alongside the Nexon i-CNG, Tata Motors will also exhibit other exciting models including the Nexon EV Dark, Safari Dark, Curvv Concept, Altroz Racer Concept, Harrier EV Concept, Safari, and the recently launched Punch EV.
Performance and Efficiency
Under the hood, the Nexon i-CNG will be powered by a 1.2-litre turbo petrol engine, paired with a factory-fitted twin-cylinder CNG kit. Drivers benefit from flexibility and efficiency as a result of this creative design that enables the car to run on both gasoline and CNG. The 60-liter size of the CNG cylinders provides enough fuel storage for lengthy trips. Despite the inclusion of CNG equipment, Tata Motors has ensured that the Nexon retains its practicality, with a usable boot space of approximately 230 liters.
Safety and Convenience Features
Safety is paramount, and the Nexon i-CNG comes equipped with a range of advanced features to ensure peace of mind for occupants. These include a micro switch for enhanced safety, leakage-proof materials to prevent gas leaks, thermal incident protection measures, and a single advanced ECU for efficient control. Convenient features of the car also include a modular gasoline filter for easy maintenance, direct start in CNG mode, automatic fuel switching for smooth transitions, and a leak-detecting system to quickly detect any problems.
With its innovative powertrain technology and robust safety features the Nexon i-CNG demonstrates Tata Motors' commitment to delivering sustainable mobility solutions without compromising on performance or convenience. Visitors to the Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2024 can look forward to experiencing firsthand the capabilities and benefits of this pioneering compact SUV.
