The Mahindra Scorpio-N is hands down the most popular SUV that the company currently sells in the country. This SUV comes with a 2.2-litre diesel and 2.0-litre petrol engine. Now, while the diesel offers slightly better fuel economy of 9-10 kmpl, the petrol models only offer a fuel economy of 6-7 kmpl. This is why recently, this particular owner of a Mahindra Scorpio-N decided to get his petrol model fitted with an aftermarket CNG kit. The Mahindra Scorpio-N gets a direct fuel injection system and hence it gets a more premium CNG kit, and the video of the installation of this kit has been shared online.
The video showing the complete installation and test drive of the Mahindra Scorpio-N fitted with an aftermarket CNG kit has been shared on YouTube by Easy Drive CNG on their channel. It starts off with the owner of the shop mentioning that in this video they have received a Mahindra Scorpio-N which has done around 5000 km on the odometer.
He then states that as the Scorpio-N comes with a direct fuel injection system, it gets a more premium and expensive direct injection CNG kit. The presenter also mentions that there is a negative point about this kit and that it has not been approved yet.

Following the introduction, the presenter then shows the entire kit which is going to be installed in this Scorpio-N. He states that this kit comes from the EuropeGas brand and there are a few reasons why this kit is different and more expensive than other kits.
He highlights that the main part of this kit, which are its injectors, are of very high quality and also the ECM of this kit is very high end. He then adds that this kit will help in providing excellent performance due to its high quality.

Next, the presenter talks about the time frame of installation for this SUV. He mentions that generally, they take around 3-4 hours for the installation of CNG kits in standard cars for Maruti Suzuki.
However, for this installation, it will take around 1-2 days because they will have to fabricate a few things. After this, he stated that they will add the CNG filling nozzle beside the fuel filler as it won’t look appropriate to open the bonnet in a CNG gas station.
Moving on, the presenter then shows the rear of the car and states that there is barely any space in the rear where they can install the 12 kg CNG gas cylinder. So, they will ask their denter to fabricate new mounting points for the rear last row of seats so that the cylinder can fit flush. Next up, the presenter then shows the completely installed kit.
Performance and benefits of CNG kit in Scorpio-N
Following the installation of the CNG kit, the presenter then takes the car to fill the 12 kg cylinder with 8 kg gas capacity. He then brings back the SUV, and the calibration of the kit is done to optimize the performance. Following this, he mentions that it will be very hard for anyone to recognize if this car has been fitted with a CNG kit or not.
He adds that being a direct fuel injection car, it utilizes 20 percent of petrol even while being in CNG mode. Lastly, he talks about the benefit and mentions that earlier this car used to offer around 6-7 kmpl. So now with the installation of this kit, the fuel bill of the owner will become half, adds the presenter.
