Maruti Suzuki has introduced a new CNG version of one of its best-selling vehicles, the Swift, with an ex-showroom price of Rs. 7.77 lakh. With this launch, Maruti has increased its CNG lineup to nine vehicles, and the hatchback is now the most fuel-efficient hatchback in the country, according to the company.
The Maruti Swift S-CNG VXI variant costs Rs 7.77 lakh, while the ZXI costs Rs 8.45 lakh. Both prices are ex-showroom, Delhi. The monthly subscription fee for the CNG-powered hatchback is Rs. 16,499 per month.
The Maruti Swift S-CNG is powered by the same 1.2-litre, 4-cylinder petrol engine found in the petrol model. It has a power output of 90bhp and a torque output of 113Nm. The CNG version, on the other hand, produces only 77bhp and 98.5Nm of torque. It is mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox.
Maruti Suzuki sweetens the deal by claiming a fuel economy of 30.90km/kg for the hatchback.
The Maruti Suzuki Swift S-CNG is outfitted with dual interdependent Electronic Control Units (ECUs) and an intelligent injection system to provide an air-fuel ratio that ensures superior performance while saving money. Maruti claims that stainless steel pipes and joints are used throughout the CNG structure to prevent corrosion and leakage, integrated wire harnesses are used to eliminate short-circuiting, and a microswitch ensures that the vehicle is turned off and does not start during the CNG fuel filling process.
