Maruti Suzuki has expanded its popular compact sedan lineup with the launch of the Dzire CNG, offering Indian customers an even more economical and eco-friendly option. Priced from Rs 7.70 lakh (ex-showroom), the Maruti Dzire CNG combines the trusted performance and comfort of the regular Dzire with the fuel savings and environmental benefits of a factory-fitted CNG system. This addition strengthens Dzire’s appeal in a competitive market where affordability, efficiency, and sustainability are increasingly key buying factors.
More Efficient, More Practical
The launch of the Dzire CNG is a timely move as fuel prices continue to rise and consumers seek more cost-effective alternatives. CNG vehicles are gaining momentum in urban and semi-urban areas due to their significantly lower running costs and reduced emissions. The Dzire CNG is designed to cater to personal buyers, professionals, and fleet operators looking for a reliable sedan with excellent fuel economy.
As a dual-fuel model, the Dzire CNG can run on both petrol and CNG, giving owners the flexibility to choose the most economical fuel depending on availability and cost.
Same Great Design, Enhanced Economy
From the outside, the Dzire CNG retains the same stylish and compact design that has made it a household name in the sedan segment. It features a modern front grille, sleek headlamps, sculpted sides, and an aerodynamic profile that enhances both looks and efficiency. The clean lines and compact proportions make it ideal for both city traffic and weekend getaways.
Inside, the cabin is designed to offer maximum comfort and practicality. With dual-tone interiors, ample legroom, and a user-friendly dashboard layout, the Dzire CNG provides a pleasant experience for both driver and passengers. Despite the addition of a CNG tank, the car still offers decent boot space for daily use and short trips.
Engine and Fuel Efficiency
The Maruti Dzire CNG is powered by the same 1.2-litre K-Series DualJet petrol engine that performs exceptionally well in its petrol variant. Tuned to accommodate CNG fuel, the engine produces a slightly lower output in CNG mode, but remains more than adequate for city commuting and light highway driving.
Where the Dzire CNG truly shines is in fuel economy. It is expected to deliver an impressive mileage of around 31.12 km/kg in CNG mode, making it one of the most efficient sedans in its segment. With fuel costs being a major concern for Indian car buyers, this level of efficiency is a key advantage.
Features and Safety
Maruti has ensured that the Dzire CNG remains feature-packed. Even the entry-level variants come equipped with essential features like power windows, central locking, air conditioning, dual airbags, ABS with EBD, rear parking sensors, and a multi-information display.
Higher trims offer additional features such as a touchscreen infotainment system with smartphone connectivity, steering-mounted controls, automatic climate control, and premium upholstery. The CNG kit is factory-fitted, ensuring better safety, performance, and warranty compliance compared to aftermarket installations.
Ideal for Families and Commercial Use
The Maruti Dzire CNG strikes the right balance between private ownership and commercial usability. Whether it’s a daily family car, a cab for ride-sharing, or a fleet vehicle for a small business, it offers affordability, low maintenance, and high resale value—traits that have long defined Maruti vehicles.
With a starting price of Rs 7.70 lakh, the Dzire CNG is well-positioned to attract budget-conscious buyers who don’t want to compromise on reliability, space, or comfort.
Final Thoughts
The introduction of the Maruti Dzire CNG reinforces the brand’s leadership in offering practical, fuel-efficient, and environmentally responsible mobility solutions. As cities become more conscious of air quality and as fuel prices remain unpredictable, vehicles like the Dzire CNG provide a smart solution for modern commuting needs.
Combining Maruti’s trusted reliability with the benefits of CNG, the Dzire CNG is set to become a favorite in the compact sedan category for those who want more value per kilometer.
