8 Cars That Can Shine With CNG | The Green Advantage

With major OEMs ditching diesel, and petrol prices constantly rising up, CNG and EVs are the future whether or not we are ready. In fact, while the EV game is already on, key OEMs are also launching CNG trims of popular models in a bid to up the CNG game. Here are 8 cars that need CNG in order to woo the masses and up their sales.

1. Hyundai Venue
   

   

   It is a package that is good-looking, offers diverse engine and transmission options comes with Hyundai’s trust and offers good space and practicality, the only thing Venue struggles with is low sales. This is the reason why the Venue truly deserves CNG. With CNG onboard, the subcompact SUV can shine through the competition attracting the masses and rising to be one of the bestselling compact SUVs thanks to an already great package it already is. And if Hyundai can crack CNG with iMT the Venue will be on another level.

2. Kia Sonet
   

   

   What made Sonet so special when it launched was its value-for-money approach and affordable price tag. With a superb price-to-feature ratio, the Sonet was meant to rule the sales chart, since the Sonet also had good engine and transmission options much like the Venue. Similar to the Venue, it would be quite a sight to see the Sonet offer the CNG trim, especially on the DCT and iMT autos, which will not only boost the vehicle’s sales but also make the Sonet one of the most diverse subcompact offering.

3. Honda Amaze
   

   

   While most compact sedans already offer a CNG trim, the Amaze despite being one of the most sought-after compact sedans, still fails to offer a full-fledged CNG trim for buyers. This is deeply affected the vehicle’s sales, which succumbs to the likes of the Dzire and Tigor both of which come with CNG. Nonetheless, with CNG onboard, the Amaze can truly be amazing yet again, and CNG is something that Honda should definitely work on.

4. Tata Altroz
   

   

   The gold standard of premium hatchbacks, ever since the Altroz has launched, it is continuously evolving per consumer needs. The next step in the vehicle’s evolution is definitely CNG. With CNG trim onboard, the Altroz will match up to the charm of legendary hatches such as the Swift, and even be a great upgrade for those considering the likes of Tiago CNG.

5. Kia Carens
   

   

   The biggest threat to Ertiga’s reign, one thing that can make the Carens realize its true potential is CNG.

An MPV that is complete in almost all other aspects, CNG for the Carens can make the vehicle’s run a success story.

8. Tata Punch
   

   

   The mini SUV that created quite a buzz on its launch, the Punch is Tata’s frontrunner when it comes to the affordable compact SUV segment. Completing 1 year of its launch, the Punch has seen mixed responses due to the fact that it is offered only in a petrol avatar. With CNG trims on offer, the Punch can move beyond just a petrol car and appeal to the masses who are looking to save on their fuel expenses with CNG.
