Maruti Swift, Dzire & Baleno CNG AMT Launched: Prices Start ₹7.92 Lakh
In a watershed development for Indian urban commuters, Maruti Suzuki has officially solved the long-standing compromise between low running costs and driving convenience. The automaker has launched factory-fitted S-CNG paired with the 5-speed AGS (AMT) automatic transmission across its three volume heavyweights: the Swift, the Dzire, and the premium Baleno.
Ending the Manual Clutch Dilemma for CNG Drivers
1. Factory-Engineered Two-Pedal Convenience with Bi-Fuel Economy
For years, CNG buyers in India were restricted strictly to manual gearboxes, forced to endure heavy clutch action in chronic stop-and-go metro traffic. With this launch:
- The Electronic Control Unit (ECU) features dedicated dual-fuel calibration for smooth gear transitions in CNG mode.
- Creep function with Hill-Start Assist prevents rollback on flyovers and steep basement ramps.
- Fuel efficiency remains virtually identical to manual counterparts, delivering an astonishing 30.50 km/kg to 31.80 km/kg.
2. Model-Wise Pricing & Variants
- Swift CNG AMT: Available in mid-spec VXi (₹7.92 Lakh) and feature-loaded ZXi (₹8.82 Lakh).
- Dzire CNG AMT: Offered on VXi (₹8.53 Lakh) and ZXi (₹9.35 Lakh), targeting urban families and executive cab commuters.
- Baleno CNG AMT: Sold through Nexa in Delta (₹8.32 Lakh) and Zeta (₹9.18 Lakh) trims with automatic climate control and connected car tech.
3. Standard Safety Package Across the Range
All three models feature 6 airbags standard, Electronic Stability Program (ESP), all-round 3-point seatbelts, and factory-certified stainless steel gas pipes with micro-switch fuel cutoff safety.
