Engine & Power

With the Swift CNG, the new Z12E petrol engine gets the CNG treatment for the first time. Maruti says the Swift CNG delivers a healthy 32.85km/kg (ARAI rated) which is six percent more fuel efficient than the outgoing Swift CNG which was powered by the 1.2-litre K-series engine. As before, the Swift CNG is only available with a 5-speed manual gearbox. 

With CNG, the engine produces 69.75hp and 101.8Nm of torque. Like its petrol counterpart, the CNG variants also see a drop in power output from the previous generation model that produced 77hp. Torque, however, is marginally higher on the new model.

However, It is a single cylinder setup whereas we have seen twin cylinder technology in recently launched CNG cars like the Altroz CNG, Punch CNG etc.

CNG Features

The New Swift CNG is available in 3 variants - VXi, VXi (O) & ZXi Where ZXi lies just below the ZXi + and it gets features like LED projector headlamps with DRLs, 15-inch alloy wheels, wireless charging, automatic climate control and a rear washer wiper. Maruti says this new high-spec variant has been introduced as customers have been demanding a well-equipped hatchback with a factory fitted CNG kit.

Deliveries

Deliveries for the new Swift CNG will commence by this weekend in Gujarat first, followed by other states. Maruti says Gujarat, Maharashtra, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh and Delhi are its top 5 markets for CNG model sales.
