Maruti Suzuki's underbody CNG which is seen with the Victoris has been a hit with half of Victoris sales being the CNG variant with huge demand.

"With huge demand for CNG, it is clear that many diesel customers are switching over to underbody CNG," said Partho Banerjee, Sr Executive Officer Marketing and Sales, Maruti Suzuki, speaking with ABP Live in an exclusive interview.

Infact he said that "demand is so high that Maruti Suzuki is constrained by the supply since the Victoris CNG demand has been very high while the new Brezza CNG will also be made on the same production line as well."

With Brezza CNG, Maruti Suzuki also expects a high demand similarly while it will further increase its SUV market share which has now gone to 30 percent.


Turbo Petrol, EVs and Multi-Powertrain Strategy

Regarding the Brezza, other than the underbody CNG there is of course the turbo petrol engine which is a big change for the car. This is an addition to the range and built for the young Indian car buyers who drive in the city as well as go for weekend outings.

Partho Banerjee also said that "The look of the Brezza has been maintained due to the acceptance of the customer and instead other changes were done like the features and the turbo petrol of course."

Lastly He also said that Maruti Suzuki will aggressively have products in all pathways hence it will also be active in ev space and hybrid plus cng and more looking at its leadership.
