He can look at Celerio or Grand i10. Both are compact and city-friendly, I will pick the Celerio based on your needs though. Do you need a company-fitted CNG or a dealer fitted works fine for you? Quote:

Zest is also a Bolt with trunk. There are very less Zests on road running with a CNG kit. Tata, Ford, Skoda, VW are some brand names which are seldom heard together with CNG. Most cars running with aftermarket CNG kits are from Honda, Hyundai and Maruti. I would advice you to go with the tried-tested route only, as CNG involves messing with your engine and that too without any warranty (i.e. car warranty gets void). Pick any of the tried cars like Dzire, Amaze, City, Etios, Baleno or get something from the used market (City or Civic - pure bliss) and fit a kit.
There are very less cars available with factory fitted CNG kits, which you can consider as an upgrade from the Swift. Maruti CNG kit costs upwards of 50k (IIRC BRC kit) for fitment at dealer level and one can fit it in any car. You can get a Sigma or Delta Baleno and get the kit fitted from MASS. They give you a warranty as well I think.
After a Swift, I don't feel that even the Zest would be an upgrade. It would be more of a change. I hope you can understand the difference between the two. Pick something from the next price range and get CNG fitted yourself. |
