Maruti Dzire CNG mileage

Maruti Suzuki is all set to launch the fourth-gen Dzire on November 11. The popular compact sedan will be available with petrol and petrol-CNG powertrains, and the Dzire CNG delivers 33.73km/kg, according to the company.

  1. New Dzire CNG delivers 33.73km/kg
  2. Ranks fourth in fuel efficiency among Maruti’s CNG cars
  3. May cost Rs 50,000-85,000 more than the petrol versions

Maruti Dzire CNG more efficient than Swift CNG

At 33.73km/kg, the fourth-gen Dzire is more fuel-efficient than the third-gen Dzire CNG (31.12km/kg). It comes with the Z-Series 1.2-litre three-cylinder engine that also powers the Swift CNG. Notably, the compact sedan’s fuel efficiency is better than even the Swift CNG, which delivers 32.85kg/km.

The new Dzire is Maruti's fourth most fuel-efficient CNG car, with hatchbacks like the Celerio CNG (34.43km/kg), Wagon R (34.05km/kg) and Alto K10 (33.85km/kg) giving more bang for the buck.

Maruti Dzire CNG to come in two trims 

Like most other Maruti models, the Dzire CNG will be sold in mid-spec VXi and ZXi trims. Both will be equipped with a five-speed manual gearbox only; there's no Dzire CNG automatic on the cards.  

But this time, Maruti is breaking the trend by offering the CNG version right from launch of the new Dzire. The CNG-powered Dzire will take on the likes of the Tigor CNG and Aura CNG in our market. Expect the Dzire CNG to be priced around Rs 50,000 to Rs 85,000 higher than the equivalent petrol variants.
