Tata Tiago CNG vs Hyundai Santro CNG - Spec Comparison

The current-gen CNG version of the Hyundai Santro has better mileage figures. But, with more power and features, can the upcoming Tata Tiago be better?

Tata Motors will launch their first CNG vehicles, the Tiago and Tigor later this month. These two, in their CNG guise will compete in a segment that is dominated by Maruti Suzuki and Hyundai. The former alone accounts for 80% of its sales and the rest 20% is gobbled up by Hyundai, with their CNG vehicles which include the Grand i10, Santro, Aura, and Xcent.

Tata Tiago CNG vs Hyundai Santro CNG: Platform and Dimension

The Tata Tiago CNG is based on the heavily modified Tata XO platform that used to earlier house the Indica Vista and Bolt hatchbacks. Design-wise, the Tiago CNG features the same front and rear fascia design with no alteration as such. The dimensions are the same too, which makes it bigger than the Santro CNG.

Speaking of which, this Hyundai sub-compact hatchback is based on the newly designed K1 platform. It was introduced in 2018, and the modified SA is claimed to be 63% rigid than before. This is supposed to make the current-generation Santro sturdier and safe.  Below, we have laid out the key differences in dimensions between the upcoming Tata Tiago CNG and the Hyundai Santro.

  Tata Tiago CNG Hyundai Santro CNG
Length 3765 mm 3610
Width 1677 mm 1645
Height 1535 mm 1560
Wheelbase 2400 mm 2400
Ground Clearance 165-170 mm (expected) -

Summary: The Tata Tiago CNG is, no doubt, longer and wider than the Hyundai Santro. But the taller profile, makes the Santro ideal for tall people.

Verdict

Tata Tiago CNG vs Hyundai Santro CNG

Even if we take into count their respective petrol variants, the Tata Tiago is a better purchase than the Santro. Tata has managed to come up with a really good-looking, feature-rich, VFM compact hatchback. The Santro feels quite basic in comparison, especially, when it comes to its appeal factor. But dont take this verdict, as the final pin on the coffin. We are yet to road test both cars, and that will give us a better picture of how both these CNG cars fair in real-world conditions.
