1.2-litre three-cylinder Revetron petrol engine
Along with the existing Tiago and Tigor, the company has given a 1.2-liter three-cylinder Revetron petrol engine that makes 86 horsepower and 113 Nm of peak torque.

Tough competition for Maruti Suzuki and Hyundai
With Tiago CNG and Tigor CNG, the company is going to give tough competition to Maruti Suzuki and Hyundai in this segment. Currently, Maruti has the largest CNG range in the market which starts from Alto CNG and goes up to Ertiga CNG. Hyundai has launched in the market from Centro CNG to Hyundai Aura CNG. In such a situation, Tiago and Tigor are going to increase the heat as soon as they come into the CNG market.
Government promoting CNG vehicles
The biggest reason for all these companies to introduce CNG variants is the skyrocketing price of petrol and diesel in the country and this is the reason why customers are now showing great interest in getting factory-fitted CNG cars. The Government of India is also promoting CNG vehicles because they are not only economical, but their use will also reduce the import of fuel.
