Maruti Suzuki launches new Swift S-CNG in 3 variants and claims fuel efficiency of 32 km per kg

Maruti Suzuki India expects to sell around 600,000 CNG vehicles in the current fiscal, an increase of around 25 per cent compared to FY24, according to a top company executive. The country’s largest carmaker on Wednesday expanded its CNG model range by introducing its premium hatchback Swift with S-CNG versions.

“This fiscal year we are targeting to sell around 600,000 units of CNG. We ended last year with sales of around 477,000 units,” Partho Banerjee, Senior Executive Director, Marketing and Sales, Maruti Suzuki India, told PTI.

In the April-August period of this fiscal year, the auto major has so far sold 2.21 lakh units, he added.

The new Swift comes in three variants priced at 8.19 lakhs; 8.46 lakh and 9.19 lakh respectively.

Banerjee said the S-CNG models offer a fuel efficiency of 32.85 km/kg.

“The company pioneered the production of CNG vehicles in India in 2010. Since then, we have sold over 2 million S-CNG vehicles to date, contributing to a significant reduction of 2 million tonnes of CO2 emissions,” he added.

The company now offers 14 models with CNG technology, Banerjee said.

“Last fiscal year, our CNG sales in the passenger vehicle category witnessed a growth of 46.8 per cent, compared to 2022-23, and registered a compound annual growth rate of around 28 per cent since 2010,” he noted.
