The rising fuel prices warrant people to look for alternative methods to achieve high fuel efficiency and cost saving. CNG has become the preferred choice.
Check out this video of a CNG kit dealer who confirms that the Mahindra XUV700 petrol automatic version could get the CNG kit installed without any issues. There had been a lot of buzz recently in the market due to astronomical prices of fuel. People had to look for alternate options. Since electrification is still some time away from us, CNG proved to be a feasible solution, at least in the bigger cities. These cities have a well-established CNG infrastructure. So, there is no anxiety among the CNG car owners. Additionally, aftermarket CNG kits are easily available and installed at relatively affordable prices. This is one such example where the CNG dealer takes a look at the engine bay of the Mahindra XUV700 and confirms that it is compatible with a CNG kit.
