Tata Altroz CNG Real-world Mileage Test Result
The Tata Altroz CNG is powered by a 1.2-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine that has been tuned to run efficiently on CNG. In CNG mode, the engine produces 72 bhp of power and 103 Nm of torque, which is slightly lower than the petrol version but well-suited for daily city driving and smooth highway cruising. The car is available only with a five-speed manual transmission, ensuring better control and fuel efficiency.
According to Tata Motors, the claimed mileage of the Tata Altroz CNG is 27.8 km/kg. This figure is certified under standard test conditions and is meant to give buyers an idea of fuel efficiency. However, actual mileage always depends on driving style, traffic, road conditions, and load. These numbers show that the Altroz CNG performs much better on highways.
