Maruti Suzuki launched the mid-size SUV Grand Vitara a few months ago. Now the company is preparing to bring its CNG version. According to reports, this model can be launched in December 2022. However, the company has not officially confirmed it. The Grand Vitara will be the first SUV from Maruti to come with a factory-fitted CNG kit.
Like the Toyota Hyryder CNG, the Maruti Grand Vitara CNG will offer a 1.5L K15C petrol mild hybrid powertrain. Its engine will generate a power of 103bhp. The CNG version will be slightly less powerful than the regular petrol hybrid setup. The Maruti Grand Vitara CNG may get a 5-speed manual gearbox. The mileage of this CNG SUV is expected to be 26.10km/kg.
The Hyryder CNG version is to be offered with only two variants. However, the Grand Vitara CNG is expected to be delivered in multiple variants.
