While consuming CNG, power and torque outputs are reduced to 56 hp and 90 Nm respectively.

The switch from petrol to CNG (or vice-versa) can be made using a button located in the cabin, while the instrument cluster gets an added green color ‘CNG’ light to indicate when the CNG mode is switched ON.
