      The name Maruti Suzuki reminds of a brand with a strong history in the Indian automotive industry. The Indian carmaker is known to deliver budget friendly cars with higher fuel efficiency figures. Maruti Celerio launched earlier this year was an instant hit due to its revolutionary EZDrive technology. The Celerio hatchback with Automated Manual Transmission (AMT) technology from Maruti Suzuki had been launched at a very lucrative price tag of about Rs. 4,36,677 (Ex-showroom Mumbai). Owing to to its popularity the car-maker has brought-in a new CNG variant that has been rechristened as Celerio Green. The new Celerio CNG is available for sale in India at Rs 4.92 lakh (ex-showroom Mumbai).

      The new CNG variant uses the existing 1.0-litre K-Series engine, which generates about 68 Ps of power with about 90 Nm of torque. The engine is mated to a five speed gearbox in manual transmission. Whereas, the Auto Gear Shift system version has no manual clutch and thus there are only two pedals. It is based on an electronic control unit which drives the precision hydraulic actuator to control the clutch engagement and the gear shifting. It also ensures that the gear and clutch operations happen at optimal timings. The hatchback is stated to be highly fuel efficient and delivers an impressive mileage of about 23.1 kmpl in petrol, whereas the CNG variant shall return a fuel economy of about 31.79 km/kg.
