The Maruti Suzuki S-Presso S-CNG is part of the largest car producer in the country expanding its CNG offerings to ten models as it has the widest portfolio amongst all the mainstream brands. It is conceptualized, designed and developed in-house and the suspension setup of the S-Presso S-CNG has been calibrated to the updated powertrain for enhanced ride quality, comfort and safety according to the brand.

Just as other S-CNG models, it is fitted with dual-interdependent Electronic Control Units
(ECU), an intelligent fuel injection system, stainless steel pipes and joints, alongside integrated wiring harnesses for the CNG system. It also has a microswitch to make sure the powertrain is turned off and does not start during the refuelling of Compressed Natural Gas.

MSIL says the system is engineered to provide optimal air-fuel ratio to aid in performance, driveability and mileage. The Maruti Suzuki S-Presso CNG is available only in two variants and so far the regular variant has garnered over 2.26 lakh units.
