Maruti Vitara Brezza Facelift Gets CNG Installed, Owner’s Review [VIDEO]

Earlier this year, Maruti launched the facelifted Vitara Brezza in the Indian market. Along with the simple nip and tuck job, the carmaker updated the SUV's powertrain with new BS6-compliant petrol motor. While the new engine helped Maruti in pricing the facelifted Vitara Brezza aggressively, it also opened the doors for owners to install a CNG kit in the car. Since a CNG kit cannot be installed on a diesel-powered car. However, Maruti is not offering the Vitara Brezza with an option of factory-fitted CNG kit. Although, it can be fitted with one via the aftermarket route. Here’s a video from the YouTube channel of Zuby Ustad, which showcases the installation of a CNG kit on a brand-new 2020 Vitara Brezza.

In the video, a viewer of the YouTuber, approaches him to get a CNG kit installed on his petrol-powered Vitara Brezza. The complete process of the installation is shown in the video. It can be said that the installation job was done with the utmost care and doesn’t look shoddy at all. The components used on this kit include a filling valve, ECU, spark timing advancer, pressure reducer, pressure gauge, fuel rail and more.

Interestingly, the switch to shift from petrol to CNG or vice versa is fixed in the centre console. Also, the host shows how the car performs on CNG in comparison to petrol. The owner of the car claims that he is quite happy with the performance, as the difference in using the car with CNG or petrol is negligible even with 5 occupants on board.

Maruti offers Vitara Brezza with a 1.5L 4-cylinder naturally-aspirated petrol motor. It puts out 105 PS of peak power and 138 Nm of max torque. It is offered with 2 transmission options – 5-speed MT and 4-speed AT. The latter comes with Maruti’s 48V mild-hybrid SHVS technology. Talking of the prices, Vitara Brezza starts at Rs. 7.34 lakh for the base-spec LXi trim and tops out at Rs. 11.40 lakh for the top-spec ZXi Plus AT trim with the dual-tone paint job. In total, Maruti offers Vitara Brezza in 9 trim options.
