Is powered by the same BS6-compliant 1.0-litre unit as the standard S-Presso.
In CNG mode, power figure drops to 58PS compared to 68PS in petrol.
CNG variants are priced at a premium of over Rs 75,000 over their petrol-only counterparts.
Shortly after giving the BS6 Celerio a CNG trim, Maruti Suzuki has now launched BS6-compliant CNG variants of the S-Presso with prices starting from Rs 4.84 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi) onwards. It will be offered in four variant trims : LXI, LXI (O), VXI and VXI (O). Here’s how the CNG variant pricing compares to its petrol-only counterparts:
|
Variant |
Maruti Suzuki S-Presso Petrol BS6 |
Maruti Suzuki S-Presso CNG BS6 |

LXI |
Rs 4.09 lakh |
Rs 4.84 lakh |
Rs 75,000 |

LXI (O) |
Rs 4.15 lakh |
Rs 4.90 lakh |
Rs 75,000 |
|
VXI |
Rs 4.33 lakh |
Rs 5.08 lakh |
Rs 75,000 |
|
VXI (O) |
Rs 4.39 lakh |
Rs 5.14 lakh |
Rs 75,000 |
All prices ex-showroom Delhi

As per the above table, the CNG variants are dearer by Rs 75,000 compared to its petrol-only counterparts. The base STD variant and the top spec VXI+ variants are the only petrol-only models.

Under the hood, the Maruti Suzuki S-Presso CNG continues to utilise the BS6-compliant 1.0-litre engine found in its petrol sibling. Power figures are rated at 59PS of power in CNG mode and 68PS in petrol-only mode. The CNG variants are limited to a 5-speed manual gearbox with no AMT option. Maruti Suzuki claims an average of 31.2 km/kg for the S-Presso S-SNG.

With its current variant options, the S-Presso S-CNG misses out on bits like a touchscreen infotainment system, steering-mounted audio controls, internally adjustable ORVMs, and body-coloured door handles available in the top-spec VXI+ variant.

Expect more Maruti Suzuki vehicles like the Swift and Dzire to come with a cleaner CNG variant soon. Read more about Maruti’s CNG plans right here.
