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.

We are confident that the introduction of this new engine will further strengthen our portfolio and help in popularity of our cars," said Marui Suzuki MD and CEO Kenichi Ayukawa.
