Maruti Suzuki has added another CNG car to its portfolio by launching the new Swift S-CNG. Priced at ₹7.77 lakh and ₹8.45 lakh for the VXI and ZXI variants respectively, the Swift S-CNG is the ninth CNG car in Maruti Suzuki India’s lineup. Maruti Suzuki claims that it is India’s most powerful CNG hatchback and the most fuel-efficient CNG Premium hatchback. The Swift CNG goes up against the likes of the Tata Tiago CNG.
Firstly, the CNG Swift is based on the standard Swift and so there aren’t many changes. However, Maruti Suzuki has mentioned that they have retuned the engine and the suspension. Talking about the engine, the CNG Dzire has the same 1.2L engine that has been retuned, and now with CNG, it produces 76hp of max power and 98.5Nm of max torque in CNG mode. Meanwhile, in petrol mode, it produces 88hp of max power and 113Nm of peak torque. This engine is mated with 5-speed MT and the car returns a mileage of 30.90 Km/Kg. The interior remains the same with the most prominent feature being the inclusion of a 10.67cm multi-information colored TFT display that gives it a vibrant visual appeal. The new 17.78cm Smartplay Studio touch infotainment system combines smartphone, vehicle, and cloud-based services. In addition to music, users can surf news feeds, get the latest weather updates and use navigation with live traffic updates.
