Maruti Swift, Dzire CNG AGS Add Convenience Without Sacrificing Fun

Maruti Swift, Dzire CNG AGS Add Convenience Without Sacrificing Fun
Maruti Swift, Dzire CNG AGS review: Easy, peppy, city-focused · financialexpress.com

Maruti Suzuki has added an automatic-style gearbox to the CNG versions of the Swift and Dzire.

This means drivers do not need to use a clutch pedal.

The Swift costs Rs 7.92 lakh, and the Dzire costs Rs 8.53 lakh before other charges.

Both cars use the same 1.2-litre, three-cylinder engine.

The cars feel nearly as powerful in CNG mode as in petrol mode.

The gearbox is especially helpful in slow, crowded traffic.

It changes gears more slowly when driving on highways.

The main problem is that the CNG tank takes away a lot of luggage space.

Overall, both cars remain enjoyable and easy to drive.
