If you want features like the panoramic sunroof, a heads-up display and a 360-degree camera, you will have to opt for the petrol variants. 

Maruti Grand Vitara CNG Powertrain

ZigSays 

CNGs are not rare nowadays, but they are not very common in SUVs that belong to the Grand Vitara’s segment. Even popular names like the Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos or even the Volkswagen Taigun do not get the pocket-friendly option. This makes the Grand Vitara CNG even more important, and it is also one of the most spacious SUVs with factory-fitted CNG, as CNGs are mostly offered with either micro SUVs or subcompact SUVs. 

Skoda might also introduce a CNG option with the Kushaq compact SUV, as the brand is currently evaluating the compatibility of CNG with its turbo-petrol engine. 

Moreover, the addition of 6 airbags as standard further enhances the Grand Vitara CNG’s appeal, and the premium features offered with the Zeta variant make sure you don’t get bored.
