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.
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.
