Introducing the Tata Tigor XZ+ CNG: A Smart Compact Sedan with Twin Cylinder Technology
The Tata Tigor XZ+ CNG is here, offering a perfect blend of style, comfort, and impressive fuel efficiency. This compact sedan now comes with an innovative twin cylinder CNG setup, making it a compelling choice for those seeking a safe and economical drive.
Revolutionary Twin Cylinder CNG Technology
One of the biggest highlights of the Tata Tigor XZ+ CNG is its twin cylinder setup. Unlike earlier single-cylinder models, the Tigor now features two 30 kg CNG cylinders cleverly placed in the boot. This design significantly frees up boot space, offering a generous 200 liters even with the CNG tanks. The cylinders are neatly covered, making them almost invisible and allowing for easy storage of luggage. Hydraulic supports on the sides ensure that your belongings don’t get obstructed.

From the side, the Tigor looks substantial. It comes with rain-sensing dual wipers, auto-foldable outside mirrors with integrated indicators, and chrome door handles with a request sensor for keyless entry. The car rides on 14-inch hyper-style wheels, with 15-inch diamond-cut alloys available in higher petrol variants. Safety is ensured with front disc brakes and rear drum brakes. The tire profile is 175/60 R14.
At the rear, the car features LED taillights, a deep fogger, and a high stop lamp. The Tata logo is prominently displayed, along with a reverse parking camera and “iCNG” badging. The rear bumper has a black and white finish with a chrome slide. The ground clearance is a practical 170 mm.
