If you are planning to buy a CNG car and wondering how to pick the right CNG vehicle, you need to check on a few things to ensure that you make the best decision for yourself. Here are a few of them:

Choose Factory-Fitted CNG over Retro-Fitted CNG.

 

It is important to note that when compared with retro-fitted CNG systems, a factory-fitted CNG vehicle will always excel in terms of providing safety, performance and reliability. Reasons for the same are many, but chief amongst them is the fact that factory-fitted CNG systems are embedded directly on to the chassis by the manufacturer, unlike its retro-fitted counterparts which are fitted in after you buy the car. Getting a retro-fitted CNG system from a neighbourhood mechanic can be an extremely risky affair as the unqualified technician will be tampering with the company fitted electrical systems and other mechanical components. All this will only result in terminating your car’s warranty.

 

Thankfully, Maruti Suzuki’s S-CNG Technology is factory-fitted, thus ensuring the best in performance thanks to its intelligent injection system and re-tuned suspension setup.

Safety is of prime importance

It is a common belief that one needs extra care while refueling a CNG vehicle.

Ease of Registration and paperwork
