Tata Motors has unveiled the Altroz CNG model featuring a 1.2-liter engine matched with a 5-speed manual gearbox. In its gasoline configuration, the engine generates 88hp and 115 Nm of torque, while in CNG mode, it delivers 77hp and 103 Nm.

However, its main rivals, the Baleno CNG and Glanza CNG, hold a notably higher asserted fuel efficiency of 30.61 kilometers per kilogram. It's important to acknowledge that the real-world efficiency of these models may differ from these officially stated values.

Unique details about the Tata Altroz CNG include being the pioneer among CNG-powered hatchbacks to offer a sunroof. Additionally, the vehicle showcases Tata Motors' innovative dual-cylinder configuration for CNG tanks. This setup allows the Altroz to maintain a practical 210 liters of trunk space, albeit 135 liters less than the standard Altroz's 345-liter trunk.

Presently, the Tata Altroz CNG model is available in six different variants: XE, XM+, XM+ (S), XZ, XZ+ (S), and XZ+ O (S).
