As the demand for CNG vehicles continues to grow due to rising fuel prices and environmental concerns, Maruti is smartly positioning the Grand Vitara S-CNG as a complete package offering performance, safety, comfort, and fuel economy.

Let’s explore in detail what’s new in the 2025 Maruti Grand Vitara S-CNG and why this upgrade is turning heads.

🛡️ Safety Takes Center Stage: 6 Airbags Now Standard

One of the biggest upgrades in this facelift is the inclusion of six airbags as standard in the S-CNG variant. Previously, S-CNG variants were limited to just dual front airbags, which had been a concern for many safety-conscious buyers.

With dual front, side, and curtain airbags, the Grand Vitara S-CNG now aligns with the latest safety standards expected in premium SUVs and complies more closely with global NCAP safety norms.

Other safety features include:

  • ABS with EBD
  • Electronic Stability Program (ESP)
  • Hill Hold Assist
  • Rear Parking Sensors & Camera
  • Seatbelt Reminder for all passengers
  • ISOFIX Child Seat Anchors

This move positions the Grand Vitara as not just a fuel-efficient option, but also one of the safest CNG SUVs in India.


💺 Premium Features & Cabin Comfort

Maruti Suzuki has clearly listened to customer feedback. Alongside improved safety, the interior of the Grand Vitara S-CNG now boasts premium upholstery, soft-touch dashboard inserts, and a quieter, more refined cabin experience.

New premium features include:

  • Leather-wrapped steering wheel
  • New dual-tone seat design
  • Rear AC vents (now standard)
  • Ambient lighting in the top variants
  • Keyless entry with engine push-start/stop
  • Upgraded sound insulation for cabin quietness

📱 Infotainment and Connectivity

Infotainment has also received an upgrade. The 2025 Grand Vitara S-CNG now includes:

  • 9-inch SmartPlay Pro+ touchscreen
  • Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
  • Onboard voice assistant
  • OTA updates for infotainment software
  • Bluetooth with dual phone pairing
  • 6-speaker premium sound system by Arkamys (in higher trims)

These features elevate the Grand Vitara’s infotainment experience to be on par with many luxury brands, making it a more tech-savvy choice in the CNG SUV segment.


⚙️ Engine and Performance

The Grand Vitara S-CNG continues with the 1.5L DualJet Dual VVT petrol engine paired with factory-fitted CNG kit, producing:

  • 87.8 PS in petrol mode
  • 76.4 PS in CNG mode
  • 121.5 Nm torque
  • 5-speed manual transmission

Despite being CNG-powered, the SUV delivers a balanced driving experience, good for city and highway cruising alike. The engine refinement and ride quality remain strong points, even on CNG.


⛽ Fuel Efficiency

One of the major reasons buyers opt for CNG is the fuel savings. The 2025 Grand Vitara S-CNG offers an excellent mileage of 26.6 km/kg of CNG — making it one of the most efficient SUVs in India in this segment.

Considering current CNG prices, this translates into substantial monthly savings for high-mileage users.


📏 Dimensions and Road Presence

The Grand Vitara retains its bold and muscular styling with a strong road presence:

  • Length: 4,345 mm
  • Width: 1,795 mm
  • Height: 1,645 mm
  • Wheelbase: 2,600 mm
  • Boot Space: 265 litres (in CNG mode)

With modern LED DRLs, alloy wheels, and its SUV stance, the Grand Vitara still turns heads on the road.

Despite the addition of 6 airbags and other upgrades, Maruti has kept the pricing very competitive, which is great news for buyers.

As of now, the Grand Vitara S-CNG is available in the Delta and Zeta variants, with prices starting around:

  • ₹13.05 lakh (ex-showroom) for Delta
  • ₹14.86 lakh (ex-showroom) for Zeta

These prices may vary slightly across states due to taxes, but still, it remains among the best value-for-money CNG SUVs.
