However, this new car offering from Ford will only be available in a 1.2-litre petrol variant that produces a maximum of 96 bhp with 120 Nm torque.

Talking about CNT integration, the CNG kit facility will be a dealer-based fitment and will be installed by Lovato, who is also assigned the responsibility of car warranty by Ford. CNG is also integrated with Engine Control Unit (ECU) by the Ford manufacturing team for smoother riding experience and optimised gas flow in each cylinder. In order to compensate the extra weight of CNG cylinder, the engineering nuances like front stabilizer have also been added. This will help in easy handling of the car without any riding difficulty.
