“Low Budget, High Mileage! Meet 2025’s Top 10 CNG Champs

Let’s be real —

EVs are trending harder than your friend’s wedding reel.

But not everyone’s ready to spend ₹15–20 lakhs just to plug in happiness.

Petrol prices? They're floating like Elon Musk’s ambitions — high, unpredictable, and enough to make you question every road trip plan.

So, where does the average Indian car buyer go? To the land of logic and mileage — CNG!

Yes, compressed natural gas. It’s cheap, clean(ish), and perfect if you travel a lot or just want to avoid selling a kidney for fuel.

So no, we’re not here to bore you with “Go Electric” gyaan.

So here are 10 new CNG cars in India (2025) that are worth every single paisa.

We’ve ranked them based on performance, practicality, and that beautiful beast called value for money.

From compact champs to boot-space bosses — we’ve got them all.

10. Maruti Celerio CNG – Scooty Mileage, AC Comfort

• ₹6.99 lakh

• Mileage: 34.43 km/kg

• Power: 56 bhp

This one’s like that student who tops the class but never talks — quiet, reliable, and knows how to save money.

But bhai, it’s also the kind who gets tired quickly on highways.

Good for the city, not for your Manali dreams.

Boot space? Non-existent. So pack light… or don't pack at all.

9. Maruti Fronx CNG

• ₹8.47 lakh

• Mileage: 28.5 km/kg

• Power: 76 bhp

This one’s the desi influencer of the CNG world — stylish, smooth, and thoda hatke.

With a proper 4-cylinder heart, it's got that “petrol-car” smoothness but on a budget.

Only problem? Once you pop that boot, it’s game over for your bags.

8. Hyundai Grand i10 Nios CNG – Dual Tank

• ₹7.75 lakh

• Mileage: 27 km/kg

• Engine: 4-cylinder symphony

Two small cylinders instead of one fat one = boot space is BACK, baby!

No more playing Jenga with your luggage.

Smooth drive, good looks, great interiors — this is your everyday budget baller.

7. Hyundai Aura CNG – Sedan, But Make It Sensible

• ₹7.55 lakh

• Mileage: 22 km/kg (Hyundai, yeh sach hai?)

• Sedan Swag: Present

Want that shaadi wali gaadi feel without selling your kidney?

Here’s Aura — a proper sedan with decent space and classy interiors.

Mileage is a mystery, though. Hyundai seems shy to brag about it. Hmm… 🤔

6. Tata Tigor CNG – Booty With The Brains

• ₹7.70 lakh

• Power: 72 bhp

• Boot Space: Finally makes sense

Dual cylinders = You can pack more than just a laptop bag!

The engine is a 3-cylinder, but BS6 Phase 2 has made it less vibey, more refined.

Perfect for those who want Tata’s tank feel + low running cost.

5. Maruti Dzire CNG – Uber Vibes, Owner Pride

• ₹8.80 lakh

• Mileage: 33.7 km/kg

• 6 airbags = Safety ka Sixer

Don’t judge it by its past cab life! This new Dzire is smarter, safer, and sleeker.

Plus, with 6 airbags, your mom will finally stop saying, “Beta, zyada tez mat chalaana.”

Still no dual cylinder though. C’mon Maruti… It’s 2025!

4. Tata Nexon CNG – Turbo + Tandoori Dreams

• ₹9 lakh

• Power: 99 bhp

• Mileage: Just 17 km/kg (thoda heavy hai)

Turbo engine + SUV look = CNG muscle car for the masses!

It’s strong, stylish, and doesn’t feel like a typical CNG.

Only issue? Mileage is low, but hey, not everything can be perfect, just like your ex.

3. Maruti Grand Vitara CNG – Big Badiya Budget SUV

• ₹13.25 lakh

• Mileage: 26.6 km/kg

• Boot: Big enough to carry your mom’s sabzi bags AND your gym gear

People don’t expect a big SUV to run on CNG, but here it is — Grand Vitara CNG.

Looks premium, drives smooth, drinks slow.

Perfect for those who want size and savings.

Downside? You’ll get judged for buying CNG above ₹13 lakh. Ignore the haters. 🙃

2. Tata Punch CNG – Compact King With Cylinder Tricks

• ₹7.30 lakh

• Power: 72 bhp

• Mileage: 27 km/kg

The people’s champ!

It’s tall, tough, dual-cylinder equipped, and pocket-friendly AF.

City driving? Cakewalk. Highway? Manageable.

Long-term refinement? Still a “let’s see”.

1. Hyundai Exter CNG – Budget SUV GOAT

• ₹8.60 lakh

• Features = Loaded like a shaadi buffet

• Mileage: 27 km/kg

• Engine: 4-cylinder = No vibrating seats here

Exter is like that all-rounder who dances, cooks, and cracks UPSC.

* Dual cylinder? check

* Great looks? check

Your heart? Probably...

This one’s for those who want everything — style, features, practicality, and peace of mind.

Final Verdict

CNG is no longer the cheap alternative. It’s the smart alternative.

EVs will come, petrol will cry, but CNG will quietly save your EMI + fuel bill combo.

So if you:

* Then pick any car from this list and enjoy the smell of savings.
