Maruti Ciaz SHVS to deliver 30km/l
The Suzuki Ciaz from Maruti has become quite a favourite amongst buyers. A competitive alternative to the Honda City, the Ciaz has done well to capture a decent share of its segment.
The Ciaz has a new variant coming up and it is called the SHVS – Smart Hybrid Vehicle by Suzuki. While hybrid cars have still not become popular in our country, the Ciaz hybrid aims at breaking the shackles. This car will get a large capacity battery, integrated starter generator and start-up technology, which will help it achieve a fuel efficiency of over 30 km/l.
The ISG – integrated starter generator, that Ciaz incorporates, provides engine power using the motor thereby achieving efficient power regeneration. The start-stop technology also further aides better efficiency.
The diesel powered Ciaz which uses the Fiat sourced diesel engine, returns an ARAI certified mileage of 26km/l. The SHVS is expected to better this fuel efficiency figure by a considerable margin to become the most fuel efficient sedan in the country. Maruti has already started billing this car to dealers, indicating a launch just around the corner. Will Maruti set in a green revolution with the Ciaz SHVS? We’ll need to wait and watch.
