Currently, no B2-segment SUV in the country offers a factory-fitted CNG option. However, Maruti Suzuki are likely to launch the Brezza CNG soon with a 1.5L normal petrol-CNG option. To compete with that, Tata Motors could launch the Nexon CNG with a 1.2L turbocharged petrol-CNG engine. In this article, we share the expected power and torque figures of the upcoming Nexon CNG.

Nexon CNG Expected Power And Torque Figures

To calculate the expected power and torque figures of the Nexon CNG, let us take a look at the difference between the power and torque output of the Tiago CNG and Altroz CNG with their petrol counterparts.

TATA MOTORS CNG VS PETROL PERFORMANCE FIGURES
	Altroz Petrol	Difference %	Altroz CNG	Tiago Petrol	Difference %	Tiago CNG
Power	86PS	12%	75PS	86PS	15%	73PS
Torque	113PS	14%	97PS	113Nm	15%	95Nm

In the case of the Tiago CNG, its power and torque outputs are 15% lower than its petrol counterpart. The Tiago CNG offers 73PS of power and 95Nm of torque and it comes with a 5-speed manual transmission. The Altroz CNG, despite using the same engine, offers 75PS of power and 97Nm of torque, which is 2PS and 2Nm more than the Tiago CNG. The only change between the Tiago CNG and Altroz CNG is the latter’s twin CNG cylinder technology, which made its debut at the Auto Expo 2023.

As we now have the needed calculations in hand, let’s see the expected power and torque figures of the Nexon CNG:

TATA NEXON CNG EXPECTED SPECIFICATIONS
Engine	1.2L Turbo Petrol	1.2L Turbo CNG
Power	120PS	102PS - 106PS
Torque	170Nm	145Nm - 146Nm

Based on the percentage difference between Tata’s petrol and CNG models, we expect the Nexon CNG’s power output to be anywhere between 102PS and 106PS. As for peak torque, the Nexon CNG, with its turbo petrol engine, is likely to produce between 145Nm and 146Nm. We are yet to learn whether the Nexon CNG will pack a conventional CNG cylinder or feature Tata’s twin CNG cylinder technology.
