Overview

  • The CNG package is a government‑approved Lovato kit fitted at dealerships for Rs 77,900 over the Rs 10.99 lakh Premium (O) petrol, taking the ex‑showroom price to Rs 11.77 lakh.
  • The installation carries a third‑party warranty of three years or 100,000 km and is Kia India's first CNG offering.
  • The option is limited to the seven‑seat Premium (O) trim using the 1.5‑litre naturally aspirated petrol engine, while reports conflict on whether the gearbox is a five‑ or six‑speed manual.
  • Kia has not published CNG‑mode performance or mileage figures, and official homologation details are not yet clarified.
  • The tank is placed in the boot, reducing luggage space with all three rows up, and the value‑focused positioning targets private buyers and fleet operators competing with models like the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga CNG.
