Maruti Suzuki S-Presso BS6 CNG Specifications Revealed

• The S-Presso CNG will be offered with a BS6-compliant 1.0-litre unit
• It’ll come in four trim levels: LXI, LXI (O), VXI and VXI (O).
• The S-Presso CNG could debut at Auto Expo 2020. 

Maruti Suzuki India will soon launch the S-Presso 1.0-litre CNG in the country. An RTO document reveals the specification and variant details of the upcoming model. All the CNG variants mentioned are BS6 compliant. This not only makes them cleaner to run, but also more attractive for fleet operations. The S-Presso CNG is expected to be presented next week at the Auto Expo 2020. 

The Maruti Suzuki S-Presso CNG will utilise the BS6-compliant 1.0-litre engine found in its petrol sibling. But, the CNG variant develops 59PS of power and 68PS in the petrol model. In fact, the CNG unit develops the same power as the standard model in its petrol-only mode. It will be offered with a 5-speed manual gearbox, with no option of AMT. 

The S-Presso CNG will be available in four trim levels: LXI, LXI (O), VXI and VXI (O). However, the CNG variant won’t be offered in the range-topping VXI+ trim. That means you’ll miss out on features like touchscreen infotainment, steering-mounted audio controls, internally adjustable ORVMs, and body coloured door handles.  

Prices for the S-Presso CNG are expected to cost Rs 50,000 more than its respective petrol-only variants. Currently, the S-Presso is priced from Rs 3.69 lakh to Rs 4.91 lakh (ex-showroom). Earlier, Maruti Suzuki had reported that it’ll offer CNG as a fuel-efficient alternative to its smaller cars. Hence, we expect the S-Presso CNG to be launched sooner than later. Further, the Swift and Dzire are also expected to come with a cleaner CNG variant. Read more about Maruti’s CNG plans right here.
