    2023 Suzuki Grand Vitara Hybrid debuts in SE Asia | Autoindustriya



    Powering all variants of the Grand Vitara is a 1.5-liter K15C four-cylinder engine that's helped along by an integrated starter generator (ISG) and a lithium-ion battery pack. Dubbed Smart Hybrid Vehicle by Suzuki (SHVS), it's essentially the same powertrain that can be found in the Ertiga Hybrid that we currently get.

    The powertrain makes 103 PS at 6000 rpm along with 137 Nm of torque at 4400 rpm. Instead of a 4-speed automatic like the Ertiga, the Grand Vitara is equipped with a 6-speed automatic transmission complete with a manual mode and paddle shifters.

    Parang ang hina for a 1.5L NA engine. 103hp/137Nm is better for a small car like the Swift or even smaller.

    Why Suzuki always focusing on weak output engines? Meanwhile some Chinese makes they already done turbocharging 1.5L four or three cylinder motors.

    this is basically the Urban Cruiser in India... Toyota is focusing more on reliability in the long term. less components, less parts, easier to maintain.

    Honda makes a more powerful 1.5L NA engine with around the same reliability as Toyota’s.

    Honda also manufactures engines for Red Bull I also drive a Honda and yes I prefer the way my City handles compared to the Vios and Almera (previous Gen)

    But if you look at the best selling cars of 2022, the Rush and the Xpander (both powered by a Naturally Aspirated 1.5 engine) made it to the list. No Honda and no turbo-petrol 1.5L engine. So I guess the guys from Suzuki knows what they're doing.

    If the Suzuki's hybrid system was the same to the Toyota's Hybrid Synergy Drive (non mild hybrid system), it also performs like a turbocharged small displacement full ICE engine.

    I Forgot about that. Suzuki also rebadges the Grand Vitara as the Urban Cruiser.
