In the wake of significant hikes in petrol and diesel prices, fuel efficiency is becoming the key to curbing your car’s running costs.
Diesel vehicles, known for their excellent mileage, have traditionally been a cost-effective option.
However, an even more economical choice lies in Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) cars, as they offer superior mileage compared to both petrol and diesel counterparts, and CNG itself is a more budget-friendly option.
For those seeking the highest mileage from a CNG car, Maruti Suzuki has the perfect solution.
Maruti Celerio: India’s Mileage King in CNG
Maruti Suzuki’s Celerio is the reigning champion in CNG mileage, boasting an impressive 35.6 kilometers per kilogram on CNG.
When you consider that CNG is selling for approximately Rs 74 per kilogram in Delhi, the per-kilometer running cost of the Maruti Celerio CNG variant amounts to a mere Rs 2.
Pricing and Discounts
The Maruti Celerio lineup starts at Rs 5.37 lakh and extends up to Rs 7.14 lakh (ex-showroom).
The CNG variant, originally priced at Rs 6.74 lakh (ex-showroom), is currently enjoying a substantial discount of up to Rs 68,000 during October 2023.
However, it’s advisable to verify the specific discount with your local dealership, as it may vary depending on the dealer and location.
Engine and Features
Under the hood, the Maruti Celerio is powered by a 1.0-liter petrol engine. You have the option of a 5-speed manual (standard) or a 5-speed AMT gearbox.
The Celerio CNG, on the other hand, is exclusively available with a 5-speed manual gearbox.
It comes equipped with a host of features, including a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system, Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, passive keyless entry, and steering wheel-mounted audio controls.
With the Maruti Celerio CNG, you not only benefit from impressive fuel efficiency but also enjoy significant savings in the face of rising fuel costs.
It’s the ideal choice for those who seek budget-friendly and eco-friendly commuting solutions, ensuring every kilometer traveled is light on your wallet.
