Strengthening its commitment towards environmentally friendly transport solutions, Maruti Suzuki India Limited (MSIL) has been offering a wide range of green powertrain options for its customers to choose from. This “technology agnostic” approach to achieve democratization of green mobility has received an overwhelming response from customers.
Now, Maruti Suzuki has further upped the ante with the expansion of its S-CNG technology in NEXA, the premium car channel from the automaker. Two blockbuster premium products of NEXA, the New Age Baleno and the All-New XL6 will now feature the natural gas system providing the aspirational customer with feature rich and class leading products with minimal impact on the environment.
“Maruti Suzuki is committed to democratize green mobility solutions in India, and we believe offering a large bouquet of technologies to suit varied customer needs is the only approach to achieve mass adoption of environmentally friendly vehicles. CNG is one such technology known for emitting considerably lower CO2 emissions compared to conventional fuels; with its debut in NEXA, we will provide an array of eco-friendly mobility solution options for our evolved eco-conscious customers. Through market studies, we have learnt that the premium segment customer is actively looking for eco-friendly options without compromising on performance, technology, safety and driving experience. Baleno S-CNG and XL6 S-CNG have been developed keeping these uncompromising NEXA customers in mind. Baleno S-CNG will be the country’s one of the most powerful premium CNG hatchbacks, while XL6 S-CNG will be a premium CNG MPV,” said Shashank Srivastava, Senior Executive Officer, Marketing & Sales, Maruti Suzuki India Limited.
“Maruti Suzuki’s success in democratizing the CNG technology has resulted in sales of more than 1 million S-CNG vehicles which has saved CO2 emissions of approximately 1 million tons. Such figures embolden our confidence of having large scale positive impact on the environment through offering a range of green technologies for customers to choose from,” he added.
The technologically superior premium hatchback – the New Age Baleno is equipped with a host of class-leading technology, safety, comfort and convenience features. Now, with Maruti Suzuki’s proven and reliable S-CNG technology it will provide an unparalleled driving experience to customers with class-leading performance and a fuel efficiency of 30.61 km/kg, ensuring that each drive makes a positive mark on the environment. It will also be the only premium CNG hatchback vehicle to offer a 6-airbags variant to customers.
The All-New XL6 S-CNG is the premium MPV that delivers unparalleled fuel efficiency of 26.32 km/kg. Equipped with segment re-defining features like In-built Suzuki Connect with 40+ connected features, the XL6 is built to pamper.
The New Age Baleno S-CNG and All-New XL6 S-CNG can also be owned through Maruti Suzuki Subscribe. This is a convenient way to bring home a new car, allowing a customer to use a new car without actually owning it, by paying an all-inclusive monthly subscription fee that comprehensively covers the cost of complete registration, service & maintenance, insurance and roadside assistance.
