Powerful features of Maruti Suzuki Swift CNG car
Talking about the features of Maruti’s recently launched Maruti Suzuki Swift CNG, this latest version of Swift CNG is available in three variants: VXi, VXi(O), and ZXi. Under the hood, the Swift CNG is powered by a redesigned 1.2-litre, three-cylinder naturally aspirated petrol engine that produces 80 bhp and 112 Nm of torque when running on petrol. In CNG mode, these figures drop slightly to 69 bhp and 102 Nm, while the car claims to deliver an impressive fuel efficiency of 32.85 km/kg, which is a six percent improvement over its predecessor. The engine is exclusively paired with a five-speed manual transmission.
In terms of design, the Swift remains largely unchanged from the petrol version, featuring familiar exterior elements such as LED projector headlamps, LED fog lights and 15-inch alloy wheels. Inside, the car is equipped with a nine-inch touchscreen infotainment system, automatic climate control, rear AC vents and support for over-the-air (OTA) updates.
