Buy These CNG Cars With Genuine Factory-Fitted Kits and Say Goodbye to Mileage Concerns

Designed for buyers who want the flexibility of a petrol engine with the long-term economy of CNG, these five models from Nissan and Renault have officially bridged the gap. We’ve analyzed the new Nissan Gravite’s twin-cylinder tech, the Motozen and Minda kits, and the specialized 3-year warranties to bring you the ultimate breakdown.

1. Nissan Magnite

The Magnite is one of the few compact SUVs that allows for CNG fitment on both Manual and AMT (EZ-Shift) variants. Nissan utilizes a Motozen CNG kit that is quality-assured and integrates the fuel inlet directly behind the fuel lid for a cleaner look.

• CNG Kit Cost: ₹71,999 to ₹75,000 (depending on the transmission).

• Warranty: 3 years or 1,00,000 kilometers.

• Car Price: ₹5.65 Lakh – ₹10.96 Lakh (Ex-showroom).

• Engine: 1.0-litre naturally aspirated engine (72 PS).

  

2. Nissan Gravite

Launched in early 2026, the Nissan Gravite is a game-changer for large families. It features a segment-first twin-cylinder setup, where two 25-liter tanks are placed vertically to preserve usable luggage space in the trunk.

• CNG Kit Cost: ₹82,999 (Motozen ICAT-approved kit).

• Warranty: 3-year/1,00,000 km third-party warranty.

• Seating: 7-seater configuration with flexible seating.

• Car Price: ₹5.65 Lakh – ₹9.18 Lakh (Ex-showroom)

3. Renault Triber

The Triber remains one of India’s most affordable and practical 7-seaters. Renault offers a homologated CNG retrofit across all variants of the Triber, making it a favorite for both large families and commercial fleet operators.

• CNG Kit Cost: ₹85,000 (Inclusive of all fitment costs).

• Warranty: 3 years or 1,00,000 kilometers.

• Engine: 1.0-litre petrol engine producing 71 bhp and 96 Nm.

• Car Price: Starts around ₹6.00 Lakh (Ex-showroom).

4. Renault Kiger

For the Kiger, Renault uses a specialized Minda CNG kit. This kit is available for all models equipped with the 1-liter naturally aspirated engine and a manual gearbox, ensuring that the SUV’s stylish aesthetic is matched by low running costs.

• CNG Kit Cost: ₹85,000.

• Warranty: 3 years or 1,00,000 kilometers.

• Performance: Tuned specifically for the Kiger’s 1.0L NA engine to maintain drivability in city traffic.

• Car Price: ₹5.81 Lakh – ₹10.34 Lakh (Ex-showroom).

5. Renault Kwid

Even the base variants of the Kwid can now be equipped with a dealer-fitted CNG kit. With a light curb weight and a 1.0L engine, the Kwid CNG is arguably one of the most fuel-efficient vehicles currently on Indian roads.

• CNG Kit Cost: ₹75,000 to ₹85,000 (depending on regional vendor).

• Warranty: 3 years.

• Engine: 1-liter engine producing 69 hp.

• Car Price: ₹4.30 Lakh – ₹5.99 Lakh (Ex-showroom).

Pros & Cons of Dealer-Fitted CNG

Should you opt for Dealer-Fitted CNG

• Choose Dealer-Fitted CNG if you want a specific model or transmission (like the Magnite AMT) that isn’t offered with a factory CNG option. It gives you the “peace of mind” of a brand-backed warranty while slashing your monthly fuel bill by nearly 40-50%.

• Do NOT choose if you are buying a car primarily for long highway tours with 4-5 passengers and luggage. The loss of boot space in the Kwid, Kiger, and Magnite makes them tight for long-distance trips unless you install a roof carrier.
