i think the main rayson de etre of hybrid cars, is the pollution and environmental factor.
"whether they equal or not, the traditional internal combustion engine, is a bonus, at this time."
baby steps.

my thoughts.

my thoughts.

mild hybrid tech allows manufacturers to use a small engine on a big vehicle (using the Okavango as an example)

there's no way a turbo 1.5L engine can power a vehicle its size (remember the 1.5L Tamaraw FX and how bad it was

)

so on idle, or highway cruising... the Okavango will give you figures (F/C and Pollution) similar to a regular sized vehicle with a 1.5L turbo engine.

but the mild hybrid system allows you to have
- more power from standstill (and when the vehicle has a heavy load)
- more power when accelerating (overtaking)
- run with the ICE off (normally downhill from Baguio)

mild hybrids are also cheaper as they have a smaller battery

nice may cruise and climate controls but why did they remove the center armrests?? lol

edited: my bad. may center armrest pa pala sa 2nd row based on the other videos. they still retained the 4AT though when in India it has a 6AT.

Explained! How Maruti's SHVS System Works - Team-BHP

very nice technical explanation on how it works. apparently the regular starter motor was retained so the ISG only starts the engine during auto start stop

aka A.S.S.

take note ISG works through the belt. this car is gonna be a belt snapper

perfect for noobs who pay zero attention to their belt's age

if I remember correctly (from a local video I watched)

Suzuki replaced the alternator

(my personal opinion)
The old ICE only Ertiga (as per review and my colleagues who owns one) is the most fuel efficient MPV in its class.
So even if you still get the same FC with this hybrid version, its not bad.

Biggest plus is the hybrid version's A/C will work even with the engine off. so for those times when you go out to withdraw sa ATM, or waiting for your order sa drive through, or just waiting for a friend sa parking lot... your car will not be burning gas.
