| From the beginning of 2020, a completely new 48V self-charged mild hybrid powertrain will be adopted for the three models "Swift Sport / Esucudo (Overseas name: Vitara) / SX4 S-Cross" lined up by European Suzuki It was. According to the company, each model is replaced with a newly developed 1.4L booster jet engine, and the newly adopted mild hybrid technology improves WLTP fuel efficiency by 15%, and CO2 emissions of up to 20%, can be reduced. |
| The 48V lithium ion battery, integrated starter generator (ISG), 48V-12V converter when installed increases the unit weight but will be less than + 15kg compared to the 1.4L engine alone. |
| Performance figures are broadly similar to those of the old Swift Sport. Top speed stands at an identical 130mph, while 0–62mph is only slightly slower, at 9.1 seconds. The revised car’s power output is 127bhp – roughly 10bhp less than the outgoing model’s, presumably in a bid to reduce CO2 emissions. The Swift Sport’s CO2 output and fuel consumption have both been reduced with the introduction of Suzuki’s new hybrid powertrain. CO2 emissions have fallen from 135g/km to 127g/km, while fuel economy has improved from 47mpg to a claimed 50.1mpg. The electric motor also assists the petrol engine under heavy load and controls the car’s start-stop function, which Suzuki says further reduces emissions. |
