Maruti Suzuki is not lying low and it has a new ace up its sleeve every time its status quo is questioned in the Indian market. Now the company is planning to introduce five CNG car models in a single day next month. Maruti Suzuki will introduce CNG models of Alto, Estilo, Wagon R, Eeco and SX4 that will feature factory fitted CNG kits.
According to MSI Chief General Manager (Marketing) Shashank Srivastava, MSIL is launching the CNG models as a strategic move to be the first automaker to introduce such a wide range of factory fitted CNG kits across all the models. It intends to create a new segment for CNG cars as no other manufacturer has a such a broad range of CNG models in the country. "It is the launch of a technology, not the cars. It is the concept of factory-fitted CNG models," he said.
MSIL will introduce the models in second week of August but a final date of launch has not been announced so far. It will launch the K-10 series model of its best selling model Maruti Alto on August 04. Alto K10 will have a mileage of 20.2 kilometer per litre as per Automotive Research Association of India standards.
