In other news, Maruti Suzuki’s Chairman RC Bhargava has recently expressed scepticism over switching to electric vehicles. Speaking at the 61st annual convention of the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM), he said that the country’s largest carmaker will not be entering the EV space in the short term. Bhargava’s concern is that entry-level car buyers don’t have the financial heft required to purchase cars that comply with European standards. Also, electric vehicles are not targeted at people who fall in the low-income brackets and, thus, should not be the first in line to be incentivised.

Maruti Vitara Brezza CNG - What to Expect? https://indianautosblog.com/maruti-vitara-brezza-cng-what-to-expect-p324207 Wed, 11 Aug 2021 05:00:44 +0000 https://indianautosblog.com/?p=324207 A recent development, that had come to the limelight earlier this month, tells us that a Maruti Vitara Brezza CNG is under development. While there is no official word about the said model, here is what we can expect to see in the CNG variant of the compact SUV.

2020 Maruti Vitara Brezza Facelift Side Profile Im

Exterior

The Maruti Vitara Brezza CNG would have identical exterior elements and styling as its petrol-powered counterpart that is currently on sale in the market. Features such as stylish front chrome grille, muscular front skid plate, attractive LED DRLs and LED headlamps are expected to make their way into the new model. Similarly, the side profile of the compact SUV would be kept busy by the black body cladding that imparts a bolder look. And at the rear, we would have combination type taillights with a signature LED glow pattern. We are also expecting to see some sort of badging to identify the vehicle as a CNG variant.

Interior

The interior of the Maruti Vitara Brezza CNG would feature an all-black theme with silver accents here and there. There would be a 3-spoke steering wheel with mounted controls and a leather wrap. Maruti Suzuki could also provide a touchscreen infotainment system that we have seen in the petrol-powered Brezza. As for the cabin space, it would be identical to the current model.

Engine

As per a leaked image, the Maruti Vitara Brezza CNG would use the same 1.5L K15B BS6 engine that is also doing duties in the petrol variants of the car. This motor in its petrol version produces 77 kW or 104 HP of max power at 6000 rpm and 138 Nm of peak torque at 4400 rpm. However, the same engine tweaked to run on CNG would churn out 68 kW or 92 PS of max power at 6000 rpm and 122 Nm of peak torque at 4400 rpm.

Safety

Prototypes of both cars have been spied testing in the past. We have also reported about the leaked engine specs of these models recently. Now, a new development suggests that apart from the CNG variants of the Swift and Dzire, the company is also working on a Maruti Vitara Brezza CNG.

Maruti Vitara Brezza Cng Engine Specs Leaked

While we don’t have any spy images of the Maruti Vitara Brezza CNG, we have come across an image on the internet that claims to contain the engine specs of the said model. This tells us that apart from the Swift CNG and Dzire CNG, Maruti Suzuki is also working on Vitara Brezza CNG. It is being speculated that the company will provide a CNG variant of all models that fall under its Arena brand.

As per the image, the Maruti Vitara Brezza CNG will use the same 1.5L K15B BS6 engine that is also doing duties in the petrol variants of the car.

As should be the case, the Maruti Vitara Brezza CNG would be slightly less powerful and have less torque than its petrol-powered counterpart. The drop in figures should not become a hindrance in performance for a normal user. However, enthusiastic drivers would notice some differences. On the plus side, the CNG model would return higher mileage than the petrol version that has a claimed fuel efficiency of 17.03 kmpl with the MT and 18.76 kmpl with the AT.

Maruti Suzuki started exporting vehicles way back in FY1986-87. Since then, the company has exported 20 lakh cars including models such as the Swift, Vitara Brezza, Dzire, Jimny, S-Presso, and more. The firm has recently announced this achievement.

Speaking on the feat, Mr Kenichi Ayukawa, Managing Director & CEO, Maruti Suzuki India Limited said:

The Company is committed to Hon’ble Prime Minister Mr Narendra Modi’s vision of Make-in-India. The 20 lakh vehicle exports from Maruti Suzuki are a testimony of the same. Maruti Suzuki has been exporting vehicles for the past 34 years much before India became a prominent player in the global automobile business. This early global exposure helped the Company enhance its quality and attain global benchmarks. Currently, we export 14 models, nearly 150 variants, to over 100 countries. Vehicles manufactured at our facilities in India have found high acceptance owing to global standards of quality, safety, design and technology. Going forward, the Company has aligned itself with the evolving needs of customers in African and Latin American nations. With a flurry of new models in the pipeline, Maruti Suzuki will attract customers in new segments to enable the Company to accomplish bigger milestones at a much faster pace.

In FY2012-13, Maruti Suzuki India Limited achieved the milestone of 10 lakh exports. More than 50% of the exports were undertaken to developed markets in Europe. The subsequent 10 lakh exports came in over eight years with a special focus on emerging markets in Latin America, Africa and Asia regions.

With concerted efforts, Maruti Suzuki India Limited has been able to gain a sizeable share in markets like Chile, Indonesia, South Africa and Sri Lanka. Models such as the Alto, Baleno, Dzire and Swift have emerged as popular choices in these countries.

Powering the Vitara Brezza is a 1.5L petrol naturally aspirated petrol engine with 104 PS and 138 Nm. It has a linear power delivery. It can be obtained either with a 5-speed manual or a 4-speed automatic gearbox. Thanks to Maruti’s Smart Hybrid Technology, the Vitara Brezza can return a fuel efficiency of 18.76 km/l in its automatic avatar and 17.03 km/h with the manual gearbox.
