Following the debut of the Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder CNG, the Grand Vitara is slated to be the first Maruti SUV to provide CNG. However, Brezza CNG is also expected to arrive shortly, although it will most likely follow Grand Vitara CNG. As a result, the Grand Vitara CNG might be introduced as soon as the Toyota Hyryder CNG hits the market.
Therefore, when compared to other SUVs on the market such as the Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, and many others, both of these vehicles will be the only Mid-size SUVs available with the Cng specification. So here’s a short description of the upcoming vehicle, including engine specifications, mileage, and the trims in which CNG will be available.
Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara CNG- Exterior Profile
The exterior profile of the Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara CNG will be the same as the current Grand Vitara, with the exception of the CNG Cylinder that will be positioned in the car’s boot. Aside from it, the front, side, and rear profiles, as well as the interior, will be the same. You get a huge, chrome-lined hexagonal grille, three-point LED daytime running lights, a bumper-mounted main headlamp assembly, and plenty of body cladding. The side body panels, tailgate, and even the back bumper will all be identical.
Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara CNG- Engine Specifications
The 1.5-litre K15C four-cylinder engine will power the Grand Vitara CNG. This is the same as with the Ertiga CNG and the XL6 CNG. The performance figures are believed to be the same as the XL6 CNG, which produces 88 hp and 121.5 Nm. The fuel efficiency will be comparable to the Toyota Hyryder CNG, which gives 26.10 km/kg. This is greater than the moderate hybrid petrol engine and somewhat lower than the strong hybrid variant’s 27.97 kmpl. Both the Hyryder and Grand Vitara CNG models will be available with a 5-speed manual transmission.
Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara CNG- Variants/ Pricing
While the Toyota Hyryder CNG is only available in mid-spec S and G trims, the Grand Vitara might have a wider variety of CNG versions. For example, a CNG option may be made available with the Grand Vitara’s basic trim. This model comes with a mild-hybrid engine and has a starting price of Rs 10.45 lakh. The CNG model is estimated to be Rs 75k to Rs 95k more expensive. For now, the Grand Vitara CNG is confirmed to be available in Delta and Zeta models.
