Maruti Suzuki will
soon launch the Maruti Dzire Tour S CNG. According to an image of an internal
document published by Team-BHP, the company will price the CNG model at INR
5.97 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi).
The Maruti Dzire Tour S CNG is 3,995 mm long, 1,795
mm wide and 1,555 mm high. Its wheelbase spans a length of 2,430 mm. The small
sedan employs a 1.2-litre bi-fuel engine that can run on petrol and CNG. In
petrol mode, this engine produces a maximum power of 84 PS at 6,000
rpm. This figure reduces to 75 PS when the engine is running on CNG.
A 5-speed manual transmission is expected as standard.
The Maruti Dzire Tour S CNG is based on the
second-gen Maruti Dzire. It’s basically a flex-fuel derivative of the Maruti
Dzire Tour S, which was launched in April last year as the successor to the
Maruti Dzire Tour. Currently, the Tour S is available with a 1.2-litre petrol
engine and a 1.3-litre diesel engine, has a speed governor that limits the top
speed to 80 km/h. The Maruti Dzire Tour S CNG should also have this feature.
Maruti Suzuki will offer the Tour S CNG in three
metallic colours: Pearl Metallic Arctic White, Metallic Silky Silver and
Midnight Black. The company will start dispatching the new model in the second
half of next month.
