Current Lineup
Currently, Maruti has 13 CNG cars on sale. All models from its Arena lineup get a CNG powertrain, and this list includes the Alto K10, Celerio, S-Presso, Maruti Suzuki Wagon R, Dzire, Brezza, Swift, Ertiga and Eeco. Its Nexa lineup also contributes to its CNG sales with four models including Grand Vitara, XL6, Baleno and Fronx.
