M&M launches new CNG variant of Logan

Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd., one of India’s leading automobile companies, recently announced the company approved CNG kit for its complete family sedan, the Mahindra Logan. The eco friendly, CNG kit of the Logan is available on the 1.4 GLE/GLX versions and is currently available in Mumbai and Delhi.

The Logan CNG gives a consistent mileage of 15-20 kms per kg, thus costing the customer only Rs. 1.62-2.26 per km, as against Rs. 3.93 - 6.11/km on petrol. For the customer, this directly translates into a reduction of the running cost of the Logan by almost 60 per cent.

Commenting on the launch, Arun Malhotra, Senior Vice President, Sales & Customer Care, Automotive Sector, Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd., said “With issues such as climate change and carbon footprint taking centre stage globally, eco-friendly transportation has become the need of the hour and hence the launch of a company approved CNG kit. It also reduces the running cost effectively. The Logan has witnessed a spurt in sales in the recent months, reflecting customer satisfaction with the product, especially the space offered & fuel efficiency. ”

The new CNG kits are made by Landi Renzo (Italy) and will be supplied and fitted by Logicon Alternate Fuels Pvt. Ltd. The company fitted kits come at an additional cost of Rs. 56,000. They are equipped with a 12 kg capacity cylinder, of which actual consumable gas that can be filled is 9.5 kg.

The kits come with a manufacturer approved fitment with original vehicle warranty of 2yrs/50000kms. Also, the class leading boot size of Logan allows sufficient luggage room even after fitting the CNG cylinder of required size.

A complete family sedan made for India’s needs, the Logan is now a 100%-owned Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd. brand following its buyout in April 2010. Following this, the Logan has attracted a committed fan following. This point was validated by the J.D. Power award and a very high ranking in the Hindustan Times Customer Satisfaction Survey 2010. Along with reliability and satisfaction, comes excellent ride quality, spacious interiors and boot space. The Logan is a truly complete family car that Loves India!
