Maruti Suzuki is gearing up for the debut of its highly anticipated Swift CNG, slated for release on September 12. This new addition comes on the heels of the recent introduction of the petrol variant of the Swift, which hit the market in May earlier this year. The Maruti Suzuki Swift CNG is set to enter a competitive segment, directly challenging rivals like the Hyundai Grand i10 Nios and Tata Tiago, both of which feature a twin-cylinder CNG setup. Here’s a comprehensive overview of what you can expect from the Swift CNG.
Maruti Suzuki Swift CNG: Key Features and Expectations
The fourth-generation Maruti Suzuki Swift has proven to be a major success, solidifying its place as one of the top-performing hatchbacks in the automotive market. The Swift CNG is anticipated to build on this success by offering a more eco-friendly and cost-effective alternative to the traditional petrol model.
According to reports from Carwale, the Swift CNG is set to make its debut on September 12, just in time for the festive season. This new model will be available across several trims, though it’s yet to be confirmed whether the CNG variant will include only the entry-level and mid-range options, or if Maruti Suzuki will offer a high-end CNG version as well.
One of the significant updates with the Swift CNG is its engine. The CNG variant will be powered by the same 1197 cc Z12E naturally aspirated 3-cylinder petrol engine that is used in the petrol Swift. This will mark the first time this engine has been adapted for CNG use, promising a blend of efficiency and performance.
