Maruti Suzuki Swift CNG: Expected Mileage and Launch Details Revealed
Maruti Suzuki is gearing up to launch the CNG variant of its popular hatchback, the Swift, on September 12. This new model will join the competitive segment alongside the Hyundai Grand i10 Nios and Tata Tiago CNG models. As the launch date approaches, car enthusiasts and potential buyers are keen to know how the Swift CNG stacks up in terms of mileage, features, and pricing.
Swift CNG: Mileage and Engine Specifications
The upcoming Swift CNG will be powered by a 1197 cc Z12E naturally aspirated 3-cylinder petrol engine, which will be a first for the CNG variant of this model. According to preliminary reports, the Swift CNG is expected to deliver an impressive mileage of 30 to 32 kilometers per kilogram of CNG. This is a significant improvement over the petrol variant, which offers a mileage of up to 24.80 kmpl (manual) and 25.75 kmpl (automatic).
Comparative Analysis: Boot Space and Features
One of the major concerns for CNG vehicle buyers is the impact on boot space. Both the Hyundai Grand i10 Nios and Tata Tiago have managed to accommodate CNG cylinders without sacrificing boot space, a feature that has been well-received by customers. It remains to be seen if Maruti Suzuki will follow suit and offer a similar solution in the Swift CNG, addressing a common issue faced by CNG vehicle owners.
Pricing Insights
The Swift CNG is anticipated to be priced higher than the petrol variant by approximately ₹80,000 to ₹90,000. The current petrol variant of the Swift is priced between ₹8.34 lakh and ₹13.98 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). In comparison, the Hyundai Grand i10 Nios CNG ranges from ₹7.68 lakh to ₹8.30 lakh (ex-showroom), while the Tata Tiago CNG is priced between ₹6.60 lakh and ₹8.90 lakh (ex-showroom).
Conclusion
With its anticipated high mileage and competitive pricing, the Maruti Suzuki Swift CNG is poised to make a significant impact in the CNG hatchback segment.
