Maruti Suzuki has said that it will introduce a CNG version of the fourth-generation Swift in India.
The Z12E engine, a 1.2-liter, three-cylinder, naturally aspirated petrol engine with 82 horsepower and 112 Nm, will be available in this new model.
A 5-speed manual gearbox and a 5-speed automated manual gearbox (AMT) are the two possible gearbox options for the Z12E motor.
Swift CNG to be first Maruti car with new engine
The new Z12E engine will be installed in the Swift CNG, the first Maruti Suzuki car in India.
When running in pure CNG mode, this engine produces somewhat less power and torque, which makes it distinctive.
With the addition of this engine, Maruti Suzuki has achieved a major milestone by increasing the selection of its fuel-efficient cars.
Pricing and fuel efficiency
The new Swift is currently available priced between ₹6.49 lakh and ₹9.64 lakh (ex-showroom).
But the CNG trims should cost roughly ₹90,000–95,000 more than the equivalent petrol versions.
Impressive mileage estimates for the new Swift are available: 25.75 km/liter for an automatic gearbox and 24.80 km/liter for a manual gearbox.
The Swift CNG is expected to exceed the Hyundai Grand i10 Nios and Tata Tiago, which are competitors that also provide CNG choices, with a predicted mileage of more than 32 km/kg.
