After a long wait, Maruti Suzuki has launched its 1.5-litre diesel engine in its premium sedan Ciaz. The new Maruti Suzuki Ciaz is the first vehicle to get its in-house 1.5-litre DDiS 225 engine. The prices for the new Ciaz start from Rs 9.97 lakh and go on till Rs 11.37 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi). Earlier, Maruti Suzuki had introduced 1.5-litre petrol engines in its new Ciaz and Ertiga.
The new 1.5-litre DDiS diesel motor is capable of producing up to 95hp of power at 4,000 rpm and 225Nm of peak torque at 1,500-2,500 rpm. This marks a 5hp jump in max power and 25Nm increase in max torque in comparison to the outgoing 1.3-litre diesel engine. The company claims that the motor can deliver a mileage of 26.82 kmpl. Although it is 1.27 kmpl lower than the 1.3-litre diesel engine, Ciaz still remains the most efficient mid-size diesel sedan.
The company has claimed that the new DDiS engine features low noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) levels. The motor is an all-aluminium unit which features optimised compression ratios and dual-mass flywheel for smooth drives. The new engine gets the new 6-speed manual gearbox by Suzuki. The mild-hybrid set up from the outgoing 1.3-litre diesel model has been dropped though.
