Tata motors has added a new XM variant to the Tigor iCNG line-up priced at Rs 7.40 lakh (ex-showroom). The new Tigor XM iCNG is now the most affordable CNG variant of the Tigor line-up which was previously only available in the second from top XZ and fully-loaded XZ+ variants. Compared to the XZ, the XM CNG is about Rs 50,000 more affordable though it misses out on some of the kit as well.
Commenting on the launch, Rajan Amba, Vice President, Sales, Marketing and Customer Care, Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles Ltd. said, “The Tigor has been an extremely special product for us and the addition of the iCNG variant has propelled our momentum further in the segment. Currently, more than 75% of the customer bookings of the Tigor are coming from the iCNG variant which is a testament to the robust demand of this technology in the Tigor portfolio. With the growing popularity of the Tigor iCNG and in line with our New Forever brand philosophy, the new Tigor XM iCNG will help us cater to new set of customers who have been wanting to experience our iCNG technology with an entry-level trim.”
