The engine that would be used on the car would the newly developed 2-cylinder 793 cc DDiS 125 engine from Maruti Suzuki Celerio. They plan to launch the vehicle by the end of 2015, making full chances of its announcement before the festive season.

The Maruti Suzuki S-cross will not be equipped with an automatic transmission.

All wheel drive has also been skipped from the list, making the car a simple and fuel efficient offering. The smaller engine generates 200 NM and the new 1.6 L generates 320 NM. The bigger engine has the best performance stats as no competitor in the crossover section comes with such high torque value. Being a good offering, the S-cross will come with 16 inch wheels, projector headlamps, an all new leather wrapped interior and rear disc brakes. The car also comes with ABS and 2 airbags.

The upcoming list of vehicles include Across crossover, Fronx hatchback and the Celerio diesel.

The CNG equipped models of the Maruti Suzuki Wagon R have no news about the addition of AMT box into their transmissions. The AMT's are only available in the Petrol models of Maruti Suzuki in their entry level hatchbacks. Even if Maruti plans for the implementation, it will take a lot of time due to its pending launches like Celerio diesel and the premium segment cars like Fronx and Across. The Nexa named dealerships have been opened for the premium cars, where only Ciaz and the other premium models are sold.

No launch date has been given by the Maruti Suzuki for the launch of their hatchback Cervo. The only reason behind the delay is said to be the launch of the much awaited Celerio diesel and the premium hatchback Fronx. After that the Across mini SUV is also waiting to be launched. After these three, Maruti Suzuki is planning for the face lifts of earlier models and these factors collectively are affecting the Cervo's date of launch.

The maintenance cost of a company fitted CNG car is equal to that of a petrol car. The petrol engine of the Ritz is more powerful than that of the Wagon R, but company has announced that they will stop the production of Ritz very soon as it did not sell in good numbers. You should go for Wagon R as it will provide a decent amount of power and space, with a nicely working CNG kit with 60 liters of capacity.
