Tata Nexon CNG will get AMT technology

Tata Nexon CNG is one of the most awaited cars in India, which is likely to be launched before the upcoming festive season. Most interestingly, Tata Nexon CNG will feature AMT (Automated Manual Transmission) technology, just like its siblings Tiago CNG and Tigor CNG. The domestic auto giant introduced CNG-AMT technology in the Tiago and Tigor models earlier this year. Now, the same technology is expected to come to Nexon as well, which will further enhance the appeal of the already popular compact SUV.

Considering that Tata Motors usually offer CNG in their lower-mid all the way to top variants, we should see the CNG option available in Pure and higher trims.

Nexon CNG Expected Price Logic

Tata Motors have the upper hand in offering a CNG-bifuel option in the B2-segment along with a usable boot space. The Nexon CNG will also become the only turbo petrol car in India with CNG bi-fuel option. Since the other carmakers don’t have a turbo CNG engine, the Nexon CNG should offer remarkable drivability even after experiencing some drop in performance.

Still, we expect them to follow the industry standards and maintain the status quo. While they will become the only one to offer CNG and a usable boot with a turbo petrol engine, they don’t have a strong grip in the CNG market. Thus, we expect them to follow the norm of charging Rs. 95,000 for the lower running costs of CNG cars. Limiting the reach of the CNG powertrain to Pure and higher variants will also help Tata position the Nexon CNG as a premium alternative.

Thus, we expect the Nexon CNG to come with the manual transmission and cost between Rs. 10.75 lakh and Rs. 14.55 lakh.
