Maruti Suzuki today announced the launch of the new Swift CNG. Earlier this year, the company launched the facelifted Swift with a new 1.2-liter Z-series 3-cylinder petrol engine, and now it has introduced its CNG version.
The new Maruti Swift CNG can be had in the VXi, VXi (O), and the ZXi variants, priced at Rs 8,19,500, Rs 8,46,500, and Rs 9,19,500, respectively.
The 1.2-liter Z-series three-cylinder engine comes with a single CNG tank with a capacity of 60 liters. This motor is mated to a five-speed manual gearbox and is tuned to generate 69 bhp and 102 Nm of peak torque.
The car will initially be offered in Gujarat to cater to the festive season demand.
Maruti Suzuki has claimed that the new Swift CNG has 6% better mileage than its predecessor at 32.85 km/kg, making it India’s most fuel-efficient premium hatchback.
Its safety kit includes six airbags (as standard), an electronic stability program (ESP), hill-hold assist, and a reversing camera.
Moreover, the Swift S-CNG comes equipped with a range of modern features, such as a 7-inch Smart Play Pro infotainment system, Suzuki Connect, automatic climate control, rear AC vent, wireless charger, and 60:40 split rear seats.
Partho Banerjee, Senior Executive Officer, Marketing and Sales, Maruti Suzuki India Limited, said, “With the launch of the Epic New Swift S-CNG, we are not just expanding its rich legacy but taking it to new heights.”
“Powered by our all-new Z-series engine, it delivers remarkable fuel efficiency of 32.85 km/kg#, more than a 6% improvement over its predecessor, without compromising the exhilarating drive that Swift enthusiasts love,” he added.
