The Product — What It Is
The new automatic S-CNG range utilizes Maruti Suzuki’s five-speed Automated Manual Transmission, marketed as Auto Gear Shift technology. This clutch-less system is paired with the Z12E 1.2L three-cylinder engine, which produces 51.3 kW of power and 101.8 Nm of torque in CNG mode. Safety is reinforced through an integrated wire harness to prevent short-circuiting and a microswitch that disables the engine during the refueling process.
The Swift and Baleno variants deliver fuel efficiency of 35.34 km/kg and 34.47 km/kg respectively, specifically engineered for stop-and-go urban traffic conditions.
