2025 Tata Tiago CNG AMT Review: Best Value Hatch with Automatic CNG?

June 7, 2025

Introduction: Why the 2025 Tiago CNG AMT Matters

The 2025 Tata Tiago CNG AMT is a standout in India’s hatchback segment. It’s the only CNG hatchback with an automatic transmission (AMT) and features Tata’s patented twin-cylinder CNG setup. Targeted at city commuters looking for convenience and low running costs, it combines efficiency, comfort, and practicality in a budget-friendly package.

Published on motoryaan.com, this review explains why the Tiago CNG AMT deserves your attention in 2025.

Engine, Gearbox & Performance

The Tiago CNG uses the trusted 1.2L Revotron 3-cylinder engine, tuned to run efficiently on both petrol and CNG.

Mode	Power Output	Torque	Transmission
Petrol	86 PS	113 Nm	5MT / AMT
CNG	73.4 PS	95 Nm	5MT / AMT

Tata has fine-tuned the AMT gearbox for city use, but overtaking at higher speeds can be sluggish, especially in CNG mode. The AMT shifts slowly, and the engine starts feeling strained post 90 kmph.

Pro Tip: Always keep some petrol in the tank, as the car starts on petrol before switching to CNG automatically.

Real-World Mileage of Tata Tiago CNG AMT

Claimed mileage: 26.9 km/kg (CNG)

Real-world test results:

City mileage (CNG): ~21 km/kg
Highway mileage (CNG): 24–25 km/kg
Petrol mileage (Highway): ~20 kmpl
Petrol mileage (City): 13–14 kmpl (may drop under load)

Compared to petrol, CNG reduces fuel cost by almost 66%, making it an ideal daily driver for those covering 1,500+ km/month.

Driving Experience & Ride Quality

The suspension is stiffer in the CNG AMT variant, affecting bump absorption.
High-speed stability drops beyond 115 km/h, with slight wobbling.
Head-nod is noticeable during gear shifts.
Engine refinement is below expectations; vibrations and rough sounds increase with CNG.

Still, the steering feedback is solid, and the platform feels sturdy on urban roads.

Features & Interior Comfort

Tata doesn’t cut corners on features for CNG buyers. In fact, higher trims offer:

7-inch touchscreen infotainment system
Digital instrument cluster
Voice commands and Android Auto/Apple CarPlay
Height-adjustable driver seat
Power-adjustable ORVMs
Automatic climate control (on top trims)
Rear parking sensors and camera with adaptive guidelines

The cabin is compact yet practical, with acceptable rear legroom and good seat cushioning.

Boot Space: A Trade-off

Thanks to the innovative twin-cylinder CNG setup (30L x 2) under the boot floor:

Competitors like the Hyundai Grand i10 Nios and Maruti WagonR offer better boot practicality with larger cylinders.

However, Tata’s design makes the loading area more usable than single-cylinder setups.

Safety & Practicality

The 2025 Tata Tiago continues to offer 4-star Global NCAP safety, making it one of the safest hatchbacks in its class.

Safety features include:

Dual front airbags
ABS with EBD
Reverse parking camera and sensors
Corner stability control
Seatbelt reminders

Cost of Ownership & Running Costs

Running cost (CNG): ₹1.5–₹1.9/km (vs. ₹5.5/km for petrol)
Initial cost difference: ₹60,000–₹70,000 more than petrol Tiago
Service costs: Slightly higher due to dual fuel setup

CNG becomes a clear winner if your monthly running is above 1,500 km.

However, EVs like Tata Tiago.ev may be a better long-term solution for high-mileage users.

Tata vs Rivals: Is It Worth It?

Here’s how the Tiago CNG AMT stacks up:

Car Model	CNG + AMT	Boot Space	Claimed Mileage	Safety
Tata Tiago CNG	✅	❌ (Compact)	26.9 km/kg	⭐⭐⭐⭐
Hyundai Nios CNG	❌	✅	27+ km/kg	⭐⭐
Maruti WagonR CNG	❌	✅	25.19 km/kg	⭐⭐

Tata is the only brand offering CNG + AMT in this segment.
