However, relaunch in June 2025 indicates it’s available again, possibly with refreshed specs and pricing .
* Final Take
The Grand?Vitara S?CNG stands out as a rare combination of mid-size SUV space, Maruti’s reliable CNG tech, and decent feature set—offered with strong safety credentials. Its 26.6?km/kg efficiency and factory-fitment make it a practical eco-conscious choice. However, it remains a niche offering, with sales fluctuations tied to limited appeal and comparisons with hybrid variants.
If you're considering it, check current inventory and pricing at NEXA dealerships, and compare against strong-hybrid or mild-hybrid Grand?Vitara as alternatives.
