Honda Elevate and Amaze now get CNG options officially with retrofit kits from dealerships

Honda Elevate and the Amaze are now officially available with CNG powertrain. These, however, are retrofitted CNG kits that are fitted at the dealership level. Honda Cars India maintains that these CNG kits have government approval. Nevertheless, to book one, the customer would have to go to the authorised dealership since bookings of the CNG variants cannot be done on the online website.

The company has not done any cosmetic modification to the CNG variants of the Elevate and Amaze. The CNG cylinder will be placed in the boot, so boot space will be sacrificed. The interior will have only one modification in the form of a button to toggle fuel between CNG and petrol.
