Brand-New Tata Curvv Gets Aftermarket CNG Conversion
The cost of petrol and diesel is going up rapidly. As a result, a lot of people are now opting for CNG vehicles. Unfortunately, there are not a lot of options for factory-fitted CNG vehicles in India. So, a number of new car buyers get their cars fitted with aftermarket CNG kits. Most recently, a video has been shared online in which a brand-new Tata Curvv coupe SUV was seen getting an aftermarket CNG kit installed.
Tata Curvv Coupe SUV Gets Aftermarket CNG
This video of the Tata Curvv coupe SUV with a CNG kit has been shared on YouTube by Sai Fuel Vadodara on their channel. It starts off with the cameraman mentioning that this particular Tata Curvv has come from Rajkot to their shop to get fitted with a CNG kit. He then opens the door of the car, sits inside, and turns it on.
The host states that this vehicle has only done 2,159 km and is absolutely new. Following the interior, the host then opens the bonnet of this vehicle and shows the engine bay. He states that the new Tata Curvv comes equipped with the same 1.2-litre three-cylinder petrol engine as the Nexon.
This particular motor is capable of producing 118 bhp and 170 Nm of torque. Moving on, he adds that they will be adding the CNG tank in the boot, where there is a lot of space. Also, the CNG filling nozzle will be placed next to the fuel filler cavity.
