Tata Xpres Fleet Car Debuts with Petrol and CNG Options at ₹5.59 Lakh

Tata Motors had launched the fleet-only Xpres sedan priced at Rs. 5.59 lakh and Rs. 6.59 lakh ex-showroom, for petrol and CNG variants. It is based on Tigor, the Xpres is an ICE-powered counterpart to the already existing Xpres-T EV, which also caters to fleet operators.

Powering the Tata Xpres petrol is a 1.2-litre engine that produces 86hp and 113 Nm of torque, mated to a 5-speed manual transmission. The Xpres CNG pairs a CNG kit to a petrol engine, though power figures for it have not yet been disclosed.

The petrol variant offers a boot space of 419 litres. These figures have not been revealed forthe CNG version, which is fitted with a twin cylinder which can hold 70 litres; this setup takes up less boot space than a single, large CNG tank.

Just like the Xpres-T EV, the ICE-powered Xpres rides on 14-inch wheels, they sport black covers instead of silver. With respect to interiors, the Xpres gets the dual-tone cabin as opposed to the all-black one for EV, but lacks the audio system, unlike the electric model.

There are missing features, such as an infotainment system, as well as a vehicle location tracking device with panic buttons, something which Hyundai offers on its fleet models. These can be retrofitted. Like the Xpres-T, Xpres also skips on some comfort and convenience features, such as rear AC vents and Type-C charging ports.
