Maruti Suzuki started offering factory-fitted CNG vehicles in India in 2010, and it sells them at over 150 cities. The WagonR CNG is its highest selling CNG model, and it is quite popular among fleet aggregators. However, the third generation car will come without a CNG option. There were rumours of an LPG option, but no details have emerged yet.

Leaked brochure scans have confirmed two engine options: K10B 1.0L three-cylinder petrol and K12M 1.2-litre four-cylinder petrol. The three-cylinder engine produces 50 kW (67.98 PS) at 5,500 rpm and 90 Nm of torque at 3,500 rpm. The four-cylinder engine develops 61 kW (82.94 PS) at 6,000 rpm and 113 Nm of torque at 4,200 rpm. Transmission choices are common to both: 5-speed manual and 5-speed automated manual.
