Honda has launched a new CNG-ready variant of the Amaze sedan. The Amaze 1.2 S MT Plus with CNG compitability is priced at Rs 5.99 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). The CNG kit and installation costs an additional Rs 54,315. Total costs run up to Rs 6.53 lakh.

The Amaze 1.2 S MT Plus is priced similar to the 1.2 S MT, but Honda says it has tweaks to the suspension and wiring harnesses to make it better suited for the CNG kit.

Already known to be one of the more frugal cars in the market, the popular Amaze, with the factory-fitted CNG kit is likely to be a hit amongst the masses, especially the ones conscious of keeping running costs low.

As the name suggests, the CNG-ready variant uses the same 1.2-litre four-cylinder i-VTEC motor, as in the standard petrol variants. It is mated to a five-speed manual gearbox, and makes 87bhp and 11.1kgm of torque, when using petrol as fuel. The new variant will come with a 2-year warranty as standard.
