Maruti Celerio CNG 'Green' Priced At Rs. 4.68 Lakh. But "Mileage Kitna Deti Hai"?
Maruti has announced Celerio CNG Model "Green" with a price tag of Rs. 4.68 Lakh, ex-showroom in Delhi. Already popular among the Indian buyers, the Celerio offers auto gear shift for an unbeatable price, ideal for those who find manual gear transmission too difficult to handle on busy city roads. The Celerio Green, as it's officially called, will have a factory-installed CNG kit and the company answers "Mileage Kitna Deti Hai?" with 31.79 km/kg. The car comes with 58 bhp, 1.0 litre K10B engine similar to the one found in regular version. Note that the CNG model delivers about 10 bhp lesser than the petrol powered counterpart.
Maruti's patented iGPI system, found in Maruti's Wagon R & Ertiga makes it to the Green. Other features, including the interior and exterior of the car remain unaltered.

That's not the end of the story. There have already been rumors circulating in the social media that Maruti's engineers are working on a smaller, 800 CC diesel engine for the celerio. The codename of the project is Y9T and is expected to hit the markets in 2015. We estimate that the price of the Diesel model would be about Rs. 70K higher than the petrol version.
