Tiago CNG vs Santro CNG vs WagonR CNG vs Celerio CNG: Price comparison

CNG is fast emerging as a preferred fuel option in the mass-market segment and while Maruti Suzuki and Hyundai have been offering company-fitted kits in many of their respective moels, Tata Motors launched the CNG variants of Tiago and Tigor earlier this year as well. The Tiago CNG in particular has the potential to find many takers as it is the entry-level model form the company and competes in a lucrative segment that also has the likes of Celerio, WagonR and, till recently, Santro.

Tata Tiago CNG is available in four different trim options XE, XM, XT and XZ+. The hatchback gets a CNG kit that works with the 1.2-litre Revotron petrol engine. This powertrain churns out 73 PS of power, and the hatchback is capable of running a 300 km range on a full tank of CNG.

Introducing a CNG variant of the Tata Tiago makes the car more appealing to the consumers who seek a more cost-effective and fuel-efficient car in this segment. While the CNG variant of the Tiago enhances its appeal, the car faces competition from rivals such as Maruti Suzuki WagonR CNG and Maruti Suzuki Celerio CNG which have been already selling in the Indian market for quite some time. The Santro CNG was a capable competitor, but the Korean automaker discontinued the new generation Santro owing to poor sales.

Here is a price comparison of all these four cars.
