While the arrival of both CNG-powered SUVs is a speculation as of yet. From media reports all around, it is likely that the Grand Vitara CNG will offer the same spec as the Hyryder CNG. This includes a 1.5-litre petrol burner producing 88hp in CNG mode. A 5-speed manual will handle transmission duties.
