Maruti Suzuki Swift CNG arrives at dealerships, before its launch
– The Maruti Suzuki Swift CNG was launched in India earlier this month
– The model is available in VXi and ZXi variants
Maruti Suzuki launched the CNG-powered version of the Swift hatchback earlier this month, with prices starting at Rs 7.77 lakh (ex-showroom). The model has now begun arriving at local dealerships ahead of the official deliveries.
As seen in the images here, the Maruti Suzuki Swift CNG variant receives no changes to the exterior design compared to the petrol version. On the right rear fender, the car gets a plate with the details of the CNG tank as well as the CNG filler cap.
Inside, the Maruti Suzuki Swift CNG gets a revised MID where there are two vertically aligned gauges for the petrol and CNG tanks on the left and right sides respectively. The CNG tank is placed in the boot, and hence the spare tyre sits vertically right behind the former.
Powering the Maruti Suzuki Swift S-CNG is a 1.2L K-series Dual Jet, Dual VVT engine that produces 76bhp at 6,000rpm and 98Nm of torque at 4,300rpm. This engine is exclusively mated to a five-speed manual transmission. The Swift CNG is claimed to deliver a fuel economy of 30.90km/kg.
