The Grand Vitara CNG uses a single large CNG tank that reduces boot space compared to the petrol variant
It’s worth noting that unlike some newer CNG models from competitors that feature dual-CNG tank setups, the Grand Vitara continues to use a single, large CNG tank that does compromise boot space. This is one of the few trade-offs for the excellent fuel economy.
