Tata recently launched the Altroz CNG in India, with prices starting at Rs 7.55 lakh (ex-showroom). With this addition, the Altroz is now available in three different engine options: petrol, diesel, and CNG. Here, we will explain the differences among these three models.
Altroz Petrol, Diesel, and CNG: Powertrain
The Altroz petrol is equipped with a 1.2-litre, three-cylinder, naturally aspirated Revotron petrol engine that produces 88PS and 115Nm of torque. The Altroz CNG also uses the same engine, but it generates 73.5PS and 103Nm of torque in CNG mode. Both variants come with a five-speed manual gearbox.
Other engine options for the Altroz include a 1.2-litre, three-cylinder, turbocharged petrol engine that delivers 110PS and 140Nm of torque, and a 1.5-litre, four-cylinder, turbocharged diesel engine that produces 90PS and 200Nm of torque. The turbo-petrol engine can be paired with a five-speed manual or a dual-clutch automatic transmission, while the diesel engine is only available with a five-speed manual gearbox.
The claimed fuel economy figures for the 1.2-litre naturally aspirated engine, 1.2-litre turbocharged engine, and 1.5-litre diesel engine are 19.33kmpl, 18.5kmpl, and 23.64kmpl, respectively. However, the fuel efficiency figure for the Altroz CNG has not been disclosed yet.

The Altroz petrol and diesel variants offer a boot space of 345 litres, while the Altroz CNG variant has a boot space of 210 litres.
