A CNG version would give buyers another choice.
Reports expect it to use a turbo-petrol engine adapted for CNG.
It will probably have a manual gearbox, though an automatic is also possible.
The CNG tank could take up room in the boot.
Mahindra may be considering this option as fuel prices rise and interest in alternative fuels grows.
