Compressed Natural Gas’ (CNG) rise as an alternative to petrol and diesel as a fuel has been pretty fast in recent years. Less emission, excellent fuel efficiency and lower maintenance are things that attract a lot of people in India. Let’s take a look some of the best CNG cars available in the Indian market:
Maruti Suzuki Alto 800: One of India’s bestselling cars, Alto 800 has a CNG version too and it has done incredibly well. The CNG version of this hatchback is capable of producing an output of around 80 BHP and gives a fuel economy in excess of 22 km/kg.
Maruti Suzuki Eeco: Used more often as a commercial vehicle in India, this car has managed to perform better than its predecessor Maruti Suzuki Versa. This model, available in both seven and five seater options, delivers an output of around 62 BHP.
Honda Amaze: Among the top models in India at the moment, Honda Amaze was initially launched in petrol and diesel versions only. However, seeing the performance of the model, the Japanese car maker launched a 1.2-litre engine CNG variant in India.
Tata Nano Emax CNG: Highly affordable, fuel efficiency and cost-effective, Nano CNG Emax was the most affordable four-wheeler in India at one moment. Ideal for a family of four, this car is best-driven in city conditions.
