Best CNG Cars Under 10 Lakh in India

A CNG car is the smart way to slash your fuel bill, and there are about 23 to choose from under 10 lakh. CNG costs far less per kilometre than petrol, so a factory fitted CNG car pays back its small extra cost quickly if you drive a lot. The choice runs from tiny hatchbacks like the Maruti S-Presso to SUVs like the Tata Nexon and even the seven seat Maruti Ertiga.

Every price on this page is ex-showroom, so add road tax, insurance and registration for your on-road cost. Buying factory CNG rather than an aftermarket kit keeps your warranty intact and the fitment safe and tested. The full list is sorted brand by brand below, cheapest first.

Hyundai CNG Cars Under ₹10 Lakh

Hyundai brings feature rich CNG cars. The Grand i10 Nios and Aura offer factory CNG in a comfortable, refined package, and the Exter micro SUV adds a raised stance and SUV looks along with the same low running costs.

Toyota CNG Cars Under ₹10 Lakh

Toyota offers CNG on three practical, reliable cars. The Glanza hatchback and Taisor crossover are polished, Maruti based models, and the Rumion is a sensible seven seater, all backed by Toyota's long warranty and trusted service network.

Nissan CNG Cars Under ₹10 Lakh

Nissan's Magnite does not have a factory CNG version, but Nissan dealers fit a government approved kit for ₹74,999. It is made and warranted by a third party for 3 years or 1 lakh km, and Nissan gives no CNG mileage.

Mahindra CNG Cars Under ₹10 Lakh

Mahindra joined the factory CNG club in October 2026 with the XUV 3XO ZNG. Only the base MX Edge ZNG fits under 10 lakh, at ₹9.99 lakh ex-showroom. Its 1.2 turbo petrol keeps the full 200 Nm on CNG, it is certified at 24.7 km/kg, and six airbags come as standard.

Which CNG car should you buy?

Pick by the body style you need. For the cheapest running, the Maruti S-Presso, Alto K10 and WagonR are hard to beat. Families who want more space can look at the Maruti Baleno or the Tata Altroz, while the Dzire, Aura and Tata Aeris are efficient CNG sedans. If you want SUV looks, the Tata Nexon, Maruti Brezza, Hyundai Exter and Nissan Magnite all offer CNG, and the Ertiga and Rumion seat seven.

Is a CNG car worth the extra cost?

If you drive more than about 40 kilometres a day, yes. CNG costs roughly half as much per kilometre as petrol, so the small premium over a petrol car is usually recovered within a year or two. The trade off is a little less boot space, except on Tata's twin cylinder cars and the Maruti Brezza, whose CNG tank sits under the floor. You also need a CNG pump nearby, though the network keeps growing.

Best CNG Cars Under 10 Lakh: common questions

How much money can a CNG car save you?

A lot, if you drive regularly. CNG costs roughly half as much per kilometre as petrol, so a driver covering 1,500 kilometres a month can save several thousand rupees every month. Over a few years those savings comfortably cover the small extra price of a factory CNG car.

Do CNG cars lose boot space?

Most do, because the CNG tank sits in the boot. However, Tata's twin cylinder system on cars like the Nexon and Altroz splits the tank to free up much of the space. If boot room matters to you, those Tata models or a roomy car like the Ertiga are the ones to look at.

Which CNG car has the best mileage?

The Maruti Dzire. Its CNG AGS version is rated at 36.47 kilometres per kilogram, and even the top ZXi CNG AGS fits this budget at ₹9.54 lakh. The Swift CNG follows at 35.34, then the Baleno at 34.47 and the Celerio at 34.43. That is why drivers who cover long distances every day, and many cab owners, choose them.

Is a factory CNG car safe?

Yes. A factory fitted CNG car is designed and tested by the manufacturer, with proper safety cut offs, and it keeps your full warranty. This is much safer than a cheap aftermarket kit, which can void your warranty and is not integrated with the car's systems. Always choose factory CNG.

Which is the best CNG SUV under 10 lakh?

For SUV looks with low running costs, the Tata Nexon offers a clever twin cylinder CNG. The Maruti Brezza and Fronx and the Hyundai Exter provide a factory CNG option too, and Nissan dealers can fit a CNG kit to the Magnite. The Exter is the most affordable factory option. The Brezza's underfloor tank leaves its boot untouched, while the Nexon frees up much of its own. The new Mahindra XUV 3XO ZNG just squeezes in with its ₹9.99 lakh MX Edge, and its 200 Nm is the strongest pull of the group.
