2022 Tata Tigor iCNG review, road test

To accommodate the added weight of the CNG tank in the boot, the Tigor gets a new semi-independent rear suspension with dual path struts and a twist beam. Additionally, smaller 14-inch wheels with a thicker tyre sidewall provide an added layer of cushioning. Still, there is no getting away from the fact that the iCNG rides a bit firmer than the petrol, and this difference is particularly felt while seated at the rear where sharp movements and road shocks aren’t as nicely contained.

Small 14-inch steel wheels and tall sidewall tyres aid ride comfort.

What’s nice is that the Tigor drives confidently and exudes a sense of toughness that we’ve come to associate with Tata models. Owners will appreciate its light steering, tight turning radius and the effort-free clutch, all of which make it a breeze to drive. Its brakes, however, haven’t been upgraded to compensate for the added weight. In a panic braking scenario, this is reflected in the longer 31.59m stopping distance from 80-0kph, which is 3.69m more than the lighter Tigor petrol.
