Tata Shakes Up India’s Taxi Market: Tigor XPRES Now Gets Petrol & CNG Variants
Buying a taxi is not only about the car. It is about daily earnings, fuel bills, luggage space and how often the vehicle stays on the road instead of the workshop. Keeping this in mind, Tata Motors has extended the XPRES taxi range by introducing petrol and CNG variants of Tigor.
Until now, the XPRES badge was only seen on the electric Tigor. With the introduction of petrol and twin-cylinder CNG versions, Tata has now given fleet buyers three distinct options under one name.
The Tata Tigor XPRES Petrol is priced from Rs 5.59 lakh, while the XPRES CNG starts at Rs 6.59 lakh, ex-showroom Delhi. Bookings are open across authorised fleet dealerships.
Both versions use Tata’s familiar 1.2 litre Revotron petrol engine coupled to a manual gearbox. This engine has already proven itself in everyday use and is known for its stable performance and durability, which is a big deal in commercial running.
The highlight of the XPRES CNG is the large 70-litre twin-cylinder set-up. It is the largest in its segment and it still manages to keep the boot usable. This solves one of the biggest problems taxi owners have with CNG sedans. Lost luggage space often translates into lost bookings.
For petrol buyers, the XPRES has a 419 litre boot, which Tata claims is the largest in the petrol fleet sedan category. This makes airport runs and intercity trips easier.
