Tata Nexon CNG First Drive Review

The Tata Nexon portfolio is complete with the CNG version. But does it strike the balance between performance and efficiency that buyers always wanted?

Tata Punch i-CNG First Look

By Ninad Ambre25 Feb 2023

The Tata Punch is currently one of the best-selling models from the carmaker's portfolio. We believe a CNG-powered version would make its case stronger and guess what? It is coming soon. It will share its engine option with the Altroz. Likewise, it will be made available with a similar twin-cylinder kit in the boot. Our first impressions of the premium hatchback are out here, and we shall now delve into the details of the new Punch i-CNG. Before we begin, let us bring to your notice that the one displayed at the 2023 Auto Expo looked identical to the standard Punch. The only difference between the two in terms of looks was the ‘i-CNG’ badge on the boot.
