Tata Nexon iCNG: Redefining Green Mobility in an SUV Package
India’s car buyers have always faced a difficult choice: enjoy the affordability of CNG or embrace the style and comfort of an SUV. Until recently, these two worlds rarely met. With the arrival of the Tata Nexon iCNG, however, the gap is finally closed. This vehicle is not just another compact SUV; it is the first turbocharged CNG SUV in the country, offering a rare mix of performance, fuel economy, and modern features.
Breaking the CNG Stereotype
For years, CNG vehicles in India were seen as economical but uninspiring. They offered great mileage but lacked the excitement of driving. The Nexon iCNG completely changes this perception. By combining a 1.2-litre turbo-petrol engine with CNG technology, Tata has created a car that feels energetic on highways and convenient in city traffic, all while keeping running costs in check.
Engine That Delivers More Than Just Efficiency
1.2L Turbocharged CNG engine
100 PS power output
170 Nm torque
6-speed manual gearbox
These numbers are far ahead of what buyers expect from a CNG car. Unlike most factory-fitted CNG models that feel underpowered when overtaking, the Nexon iCNG delivers confident performance. Drivers no longer have to sacrifice excitement for economy — this SUV provides both.
Practical Yet Stylish
One of the smartest engineering touches in the Nexon iCNG is its dual-cylinder setup. Instead of taking up the entire boot, Tata has cleverly placed two smaller cylinders under the luggage floor. The result? A usable 321-litre boot space, which is unmatched in the CNG segment.
Visually, the SUV retains everything people love about the Nexon — muscular lines, striking LED headlights, sporty alloys, and a bold stance. It looks premium, not “cost-cutting.”
Tech-Loaded Cabin
Inside, the Nexon iCNG feels far more advanced than any other CNG car in India. It comes with:
Panoramic sunroof
10.25-inch infotainment system with wireless Android Auto/Apple CarPlay
Digital instrument cluster
Ventilated leatherette seats
360-degree camera with blind-view monitor
In short, it offers the same cabin experience as its petrol and diesel siblings, which is rare in the CNG market.

Safe and Strong
Safety has always been Tata’s strong point, and the Nexon iCNG inherits the same DNA. The SUV is built on a 5-star GNCAP-rated platform, making it the safest CNG vehicle you can buy in India. With 6 airbags, ABS with EBD, ESP, and hill-hold assist, it ensures peace of mind for families.
Price and Variants
The Tata Nexon iCNG is offered in multiple trims, starting at around ₹10.7 lakh (ex-showroom). Depending on the variant, the price can go up to around ₹12 lakh, which makes it more expensive than hatchbacks but still very competitive in the SUV space.
Who Should Buy It?
The Nexon iCNG is designed for buyers who:
Want SUV space and road presence without high fuel costs.
Prefer CNG but don’t want to compromise on features.
Are looking for a family car that’s safe, modern, and reliable.
The Tata Nexon iCNG is not just another model in Tata’s lineup; it’s a symbol of how Indian car buyers’ expectations are changing. By merging performance with efficiency, Tata has redefined what a CNG car can be.
For families, daily commuters, and eco-conscious drivers, the Nexon iCNG delivers everything: style, safety, savings, and satisfaction. It’s not just an SUV; it’s a statement that green mobility can be powerful and premium too.
