Planning to buy a CNG hatchback but confused between the Maruti Suzuki Swift and Hyundai Grand i10 Nios? We’ve got you covered.

The sale of CNG cars has registered a spike. Therefore, we now have some interesting CNG cars under ₹ 10 lakh, namely the Hyundai Grand i10 Nios and the Maruti Suzuki Swift CNG.

One of India’s most traditional pair of car rivals has now entered a new fight. The Maruti Swift got a generational update on 9 May, while the Hyundai Grand i10 Nios got a major overhaul in mid-2023.

The new Swift in its fourth generation is essentially a heavily updated version of the third-gen platform with a new design, an all-new engine, and an updated interior layout with new features.

Both hatchbacks offer CNG powertrains from their mid-spec variants onwards, but only one gives you usable boot space.

Hyundai Motor India recently launched the Hyundai Grand i10 Nios Hy-CNG duo in the Indian market. The Grand i10 Nios Hy-CNG duo is the second Hy-CNG model after Exter.
