Tata Motors is slowly changing how people look at CNG cars, and the Tata Tigor XZA+ CNG, priced at Rs 8,83,990, is a good example of that shift. This is not just a basic fuel-saving car. It is a top model compact sedan with an automatic gearbox, something that is still rare in the CNG space.
Engine And Driving
The Tigor XZA+ CNG comes with a 1.2-litre Revotron petrol engine (1199 cc), tuned to run on CNG. It produces around 73.4 HP and 95 Nm torque in CNG mode. This may not sound very powerful, but it is enough for city driving. The focus here is not speed, but smooth and economical driving. The highlight is the 5-speed AMT automatic gearbox. You don’t need to use a clutch or shift gears in traffic. This makes daily driving much easier, especially
in crowded cities.
Mileage
The biggest reason people consider CNG cars is fuel savings. The Tigor delivers around 28.06 km/kg, which is very efficient. In simple terms, this means you spend much less on fuel compared to petrol cars. Over time, this can save a significant amount of money.

Smart CNG Technology
Tata has added its Twin Cylinder iCNG technology, which solves a common problem in CNG cars, which is the boot space. Instead of one large cylinder, the car uses two smaller cylinders placed under the luggage area, allowing a usable 205-litre boot. This makes the car more practical for everyday use. Another useful feature is direct start in CNG, which means the car can start directly on CNG without switching from petrol.
Features
Despite being a CNG car, the Tigor does not feel basic. It comes with a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system, Wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, automatic climate control, push-button start and cruise control. The sound system is tuned by Harman, offering a good audio experience.
Safety
Safety is another strong point. The Tigor has a 4-star Global NCAP rating, which is impressive in this segment. It also offers dual airbags, ABS with EBD, corner stability control and rear parking camera. These features make it a safe and reliable choice for daily driving.
Design And Practicality
The Tigor looks clean and simple. It gets 15-inch alloy wheels, LED DRLs, projector headlamps, and a compact sedan design. The size makes it easy to drive in cities, while still offering enough space for a small family. The Tata Tigor XZA+ CNG is a practical car built for real needs. It is not about performance or flashy features.
It is about saving fuel, reducing daily driving stress, and offering useful features. For buyers who want low running cost without giving up convenience, this car makes a lot of sense.
