This article details the 3 upcoming CNG cars in India from the leading automotive brands such as Tata, Skoda and Kia
Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) has emerged as the best alternative fuel choice in the Indian market. The sales of CNG vehicles even surpassed diesel ones for the first time in FY25. The reasons behind the rise in sales of CNG-powered vehicles are quite simple: they are affordable, fuel efficient and environment friendly. In the last couple of years, we have seen more and more auto brands moving towards this fuel and introducing the CNG versions of their existing petrol and diesel models. In this piece, we will discuss the 3 upcoming CNG cars in India.
1. Skoda Kylaq CNG
Presently, Skoda Kylaq is the highest-selling model for the European brand with monthly sales close to 5000 units. Recently, Ashish Gupta – Brand Director for Skoda India, stated that the Kylaq CNG is under consideration but it will not happen immediately. Sources close to the development told us that the company is currently evaluating whether its turbo petrol engine can work with CNG fuel or not. Skoda Kylaq is priced in a range of Rs 8.25-13.99 lakh (ex-showroom) in the Indian market.

2. Tata Curvv CNG
Last month, Tata Curvv CNG was spotted testing for the first time around Pune. It is on the verge of becoming only the second passenger vehicle in India to come with all four fuel options namely petrol, diesel, CNG and EV after Tata Nexon. Needless to state, the Curvv CNG will be offered with Tata’s twin-cylinder technology which we have already seen in the CNG versions of Nexon, Altroz and Tiago.
Tata Curvv CNG will directly rival Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara and Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder, both of which come with the conventional single-cylinder setup. It is likely to launch during the festive season of Diwali (Oct-Nov) later this year. The CNG variants could be around Rs 1 lakh more expensive than their petrol counterparts. Besides the standard manual gearbox, we might see an automatic transmission too as an option.

3. Kia Carens CNG
Kia India will launch its first CNG powered vehicle in the form of the Carens Clavis by the end of 2025. It was confirmed by Hardeep Singh Brar = Senior Vice President & Head of Sales and Marketing, during a media interaction. Kia Carens Clavis CNG will be at loggerheads with Maruti Suzuki Ertiga in the Indian market.
“As CNG volumes are increasing, we are working on the CNG option as well. But we want to make sure that when we give a CNG option, like all our products, it has to be the best CNG car. If our testing proves to be successful, we will bring it (in the Carens),” said Brar.
