Maruti Suzuki has expanded its CNG passenger vehicle range with the introduction of new CNG-AMT variants for the Swift, Dzire and Baleno. The new versions combine the lower running-cost benefits of CNG with the convenience of an automated manual transmission, giving buyers an automatic option in these popular models.

Prices for the new CNG-AMT range start at ₹7.92 lakh (ex-showroom), while the Dzire CNG-AMT claims the highest fuel efficiency of up to 36.47 km/kg among the three models.

Maruti CNG-AMT Prices and Mileage

CNG Combined With Automatic Convenience

The introduction of CNG-AMT variants gives customers an alternative to choosing between a CNG powertrain and an automatic transmission. Until now, buyers interested in CNG versions of these models generally had to opt for a manual gearbox.

The automated manual transmission is designed to make driving easier, particularly in heavy city traffic, while retaining the efficiency-oriented characteristics of the CNG powertrain.

The new variants could therefore appeal to urban buyers who cover significant distances but also want the convenience of an automatic-style transmission.

Dzire Offers Highest Claimed Mileage

Among the three newly introduced models, the Maruti Dzire CNG-AMT records the highest claimed fuel efficiency at 36.47 km/kg. The Swift CNG-AMT follows with a claimed 35.34 km/kg, while the Baleno CNG-AMT delivers a claimed 34.47 km/kg.

Actual fuel economy can vary depending on traffic conditions, driving style, vehicle load and road conditions.

Swift, Dzire and Baleno Strengthen Maruti's CNG Line-Up

Maruti Suzuki has maintained a strong focus on factory-fitted CNG vehicles in India, offering the technology across multiple segments. The addition of AMT to the Swift, Dzire and Baleno CNG range further expands the choice available to customers looking for petrol alternatives with automatic convenience.

The Swift caters to hatchback buyers, the Dzire targets the compact sedan segment, while the Baleno sits in the premium hatchback category. With CNG-AMT versions across these three models, Maruti now provides buyers with multiple body styles while retaining a CNG powertrain.

What This Means for Buyers

The new CNG-AMT variants are particularly relevant for customers who primarily drive in cities and want to balance fuel costs with driving convenience. The automatic transmission can reduce the need for frequent clutch operation in stop-and-go traffic, while the CNG system is aimed at keeping running costs lower than conventional petrol operation.

The starting price of ₹7.92 lakh also places the Swift CNG-AMT as the entry point into Maruti's new CNG-AMT offerings, while the Dzire and Baleno command higher prices based on their respective positioning and equipment levels.

With the latest additions, Maruti Suzuki has further broadened its CNG portfolio and introduced automatic transmission convenience to three of its important models
