We can expect to see the first Nexa CNG car in the form of the 2022 Baleno CNG. Previously, we reported how Maruti unintentionally revealed their plans for the Baleno CNG. Hence, we can expect to see the 2022 Baleno CNG on sale as soon as July 2022. It will likely come with the same powertrain as the Dzire CNG, producing 78PS of power and 98.5Nm of torque with a 5-speed manual transmission. Maruti could offer the CNG powertrain upward of the Sigma variant in the Baleno.

Other Nexa CNG cars we could expect from Maruti include the 2022 XL6 CNG and Ignis CNG. After all, the XL6 uses the same powertrain as the 2022 Ertiga while the Ignis gets the same engine as the Dzire and Baleno.
