Which Hatchbacks Offer Both Petrol and CNG in India? (2026)

Eight hatchbacks from Maruti Suzuki, Hyundai and Tata are sold with factory-fitted petrol and CNG versions of the same model: the Maruti Suzuki Baleno, Swift, WagonR, Celerio, S-Presso and Alto K10, plus the Hyundai Grand i10 Nios and the Tata Tiago. CNG mileage across them runs from roughly 19 km/kg on the Grand i10 Nios to 34.43 km/kg on the Celerio, and the CNG variant typically costs ₹1 lakh to ₹2 lakh more than the equivalent petrol trim. The cheapest way in is the S-Presso from ₹4.64 lakh, and only the Tiago lets you pair CNG with an automatic gearbox. Not every hatchback with a CNG version actually gives you a choice. Some are sold only as CNG, others get their CNG option from a dealership rather than the factory. Here's every hatchback in India that qualifies, and what actually changes when you pick CNG over petrol on each one.

Key takeaways

• Maruti Suzuki Baleno is the only NEXA-channel hatchback on this list, and the only one with segment-first features like Level 2 ADAS on its petrol trims.
• Maruti Suzuki Celerio posts the highest CNG mileage in this comparison at 34.43 km/kg.
• Tata Tiago is the only hatchback here offering an automatic gearbox on its CNG variant; every Maruti and Hyundai model here is CNG-manual only.
• Maruti Suzuki S-Presso is the cheapest way into a factory CNG hatchback, starting from ₹4.64 lakh.
• Hyundai Grand i10 Nios posts the lowest CNG mileage of the group, roughly 19 km/kg against a 32 to 34 km/kg range for the Maruti models.

Maruti Suzuki figures come from its own brochures and price pages. Tata and Hyundai either block automated access or do not publish ARAI-certified mileage in their brochures, so those figures are our own and are worth confirming with a dealer.

Prices are approximate ex-showroom figures and vary by city; always confirm current pricing with the dealer.

Hatchbacks with a dealer-fitted CNG kit

If a dealer-fitted kit is acceptable rather than a factory option, the Renault Kwid (retrofit kit priced around ₹70,450) and the Citroen C3 (retrofit kit priced around ₹93,000) can both be converted to run on CNG after purchase, though neither comes as a factory petrol-and-CNG model.

Conclusion

Maruti Suzuki dominates this list because it has spent over a decade building factory CNG hardware across nearly its entire hatchback range, and the pricing and mileage figures reflect that. Every Maruti hatchback here clears 32 km/kg on CNG comfortably, while the Grand i10 Nios sits closer to 19 km/kg on the same fuel. Where Maruti falls short is flexibility. CNG on every single one of its hatchbacks is manual-only, and it's often restricted to one or two variants rather than the full lineup. If an automatic gearbox on CNG matters to you, the Tata Tiago is the only hatchback on this list that offers it. If you want the lowest possible entry price into a factory CNG hatchback, the Maruti Suzuki S-Presso is the cheapest option here, even though its CNG mileage is the lowest among the Maruti models.

Frequently asked questions

Which hatchbacks in India offer both petrol and CNG from the factory?

Eight of them do: the Maruti Suzuki Baleno, Swift, WagonR, Celerio, S-Presso and Alto K10, along with the Hyundai Grand i10 Nios and Tata Tiago. The Toyota Glanza, which is the Baleno's badge-engineered twin, and the Tata Altroz also offer factory CNG but are not compared in detail here.

Which hatchback has the best CNG mileage among these?

The Maruti Suzuki Celerio, at a certified 34.43 km/kg, narrowly ahead of the Alto K10 at 33.85 km/kg.

Can I get an automatic gearbox with CNG on any of these hatchbacks?

Only the Tata Tiago offers CNG with an automatic (AMT) option. Every Maruti and Hyundai model here restricts CNG to a manual gearbox.

Do Renault Kwid or Citroen C3 offer both petrol and CNG?

Both can be run on CNG, but only through a dealer-fitted retrofit kit rather than a factory option, so they aren't counted in the main comparison above.

Does the CNG variant always cost significantly more than petrol?

Yes, typically ₹1 lakh to ₹2 lakh more than the equivalent petrol trim, though the gap varies by model and trim level.
