New Delhi: Maruti Suzuki, known for its fuel-efficient cars, is all set to introduce a CNG variant of its popular hatchback, the Swift! This exciting news comes after the successful launch of the fourth-generation Swift in India.
Same Stylish Looks, Now with Eco-Friendly CNG Power
Swift enthusiasts, rejoice! The CNG version retains the iconic design, sporty graphics, and impressive features you love from the petrol model. You won’t have to compromise on style to switch to a more economical option.
Performance and Mileage to Impress
Get ready for a powerful yet eco-friendly driving experience. The Swift CNG is expected to be equipped with a new 1.2-litre, three-cylinder Z12E petrol engine, generating an estimated 82hp and 112 Nm of torque. You’ll have the option of a smooth 5-speed manual or a convenient 5-speed automatic transmission. But the real game-changer? The much-awaited CNG technology is rumored to deliver an impressive mileage of over 35km/kg, significantly reducing your running costs. Official figures from Maruti Suzuki are awaited, but expectations are high!
Expected Price and Market Competition
Currently, the petrol Swift facelift ranges from Rs 6.49 lakh to Rs 9.64 lakh (ex-showroom). The CNG variant is expected to carry a premium of around Rs 80,000 to 90,000, making it a budget-friendly option compared to full-fledged electric or hybrid cars. However, the Swift CNG will face tough competition from established players like the feature-rich Tata Tiago CNG and the Hyundai Grand i10 Nios CNG.
Gear Up for an Eco-Friendly Swift Experience!
The launch of the Swift CNG is imminent, expected to hit the market in the coming months. With its combination of familiar style, potentially powerful engine, and industry-leading mileage, the Swift CNG is poised to be a major player in the CNG hatchback segment.
