Maruti Suzuki has launched the BS6 Celerio
CNG, with prices starting at INR 5.61 lakh*. The company has rolled out the BS6
Tour H2 CNG as well, for a price of INR 5.37 lakh*.
The specifications of the BS6 Maruti Celerio
CNG, and its taxi variant, the BS6 Maruti Tour H2, haven’t been released yet.
Their BS4 versions use the K10B 1.0-litre three-cylinder petrol engine that
produces 68 PS and 90 Nm of torque running on petrol and 59 PS and 78 Nm of torque running on CNG. A 5-speed manual transmission is
standard. The petrol and CNG tanks have a capacity of 35 litres and 60 litres
respectively. These figures should apply to the BS6 versions as well.
The only specification we expect to be
different in the BS6 Maruti Celerio CNG and BS6 Maruti Tour H2 CNG is the fuel
economy rating. For reference, the BS4 versions return a mileage of 31.76 km/kg
(CNG). The mileage of the BS6 cars is expected to be a little lower.
The Maruti Celerio CNG is available in VXI
and VXI (O) variants, while the Maruti Tour H2 CNG is available in only a
standard variant.
