The Swift CNG automatic is now offered in three trims—VXi, VXi (O), and ZXi—each delivering the same 1.2‑litre petrol engine but with a five‑speed AGS gearbox.
Ex‑showroom, the VXi starts at ₹7.92 lakh, VXi (O) at ₹8.18 lakh, and ZXi at ₹8.86 lakh, a Rs 35,000 premium over the manual equivalents.
The Dzire follows a similar pattern, with the VXi and ZXi trims available in AGS form. Prices open at ₹8.53 lakh for VXi and ₹9.54 lakh for ZXi, again a Rs 35,000 bump.
Baleno’s story is slightly different—only the Delta and Zeta trims get the AGS option. The Delta starts at ₹8.32 lakh, while the Zeta tops out at ₹9.32 lakh, a Rs 40,000 premium.
All three models share Maruti’s 1.2‑litre, three‑cylinder petrol engine coupled with the S‑CNG system, but the AGS gearbox replaces the manual clutch. The five‑speed AGS delivers a smoother ride for city‑driving and the extra ₹35‑40k is a small price to pay for that convenience.
In a crowded segment where the Hyundai i20 CNG automatic hovers around ₹12.9 lakh, Maruti’s trio offers a budget‑friendly alternative. The launch of these price lists comes amid a push for cleaner fuels, with CNG duties staying at 7% and the government offering a 5% rebate on CNG prices. Buyers can expect the vehicles in major metros this month, and Maruti’s next move could be a CNG‑powered SUV.
