The Maruti Baleno and Toyota Glanza share their 90PS 1.2-litre petrol engine with the Dzire, which recently got the CNG option. The Dzire’s CNG variants produce 77PS (13PS less) and 98.5Nm (14.5Nm less) and are paired with a 5-speed manual transmission. Similar specifications should be seen on the hatchbacks as well.

The Dzire CNG offers a claimed mileage of 31.12km/kg. The Baleno and Glanza CNG are likely to offer similar fuel economy figures, mostly around 30 km/kg.

Since manufacturers are now offering CNG with the mid-spec or range-topping variants, we can expect something similar here. Maruti could offer CNG with the Baleno’s mid-spec Delta and second-to-top Zeta variants. Similarly, Toyota could go with the Glanza’s S and G variants.
