Automotive brands around the world are betting big on efficiency. Current technology allows a wide variety of solutions to improve fuel performance and even includes “tricks” to reduce consumption depending on the circumstances. If you are looking for a efficient car with good featuresthe new Japanese engine that arrives this year will surely interest you.
The new Japanese engine that will sweep the market
Suzuki is one of the most recognized Japanese car brands worldwide thanks to its compact, efficient models with an excellent price-quality ratio. Each model relies on new technologies and a careful development and design process that produces vehicles that are within reach of anyone’s budget and offer all the benefits of a company with extensive experience.
Now they have just announced the new version of one of their most classic models and the favorite of millions of people around the world. Expectations are high, according to the known specifications, since it incorporates hybrid technology to achieve greater performance for a model that has always been recognized for its efficiency.
We are talking about the new version of its all-time classic: the Suzuki Swift, a Japanese engine that has already sold 9 million units and hopes to add many more followers thanks to the incorporation of SHVS light hybridization technology. It is a three-cylinder engine combined with an electric motor that allows it travel 100 km with less than five liters.
Light hybridization technology
The novelty of this Swift is in the combination of a compact and efficient combustion engine with an electric motor that improves performance, reduces CO2 emissions and a unique driving experience. It will come out in different versions with a five-speed gearbox that can be automatic or manual to meet the preferences of all users.
This technology, unlike other hybrid engines, is not designed for 100% electric driving, but rather uses the gasoline engine for propulsion and takes advantage of the benefits of electric technology to improve the experience and efficiency. This electric motor-generator is connected by means of a belt to the main one to increase performance intelligently.
It is an energy recovery system, which takes advantage of the energy produced during each braking to recharge a 48v battery. When the car starts or accelerates, it offers a higher starting speed and quick, smooth acceleration that reduces wear on the combustion engine. This is especially useful when accelerating from a standstill and smoothes out braking.
A combustion engine with ECO label
Despite being a Japanese engine based on internal combustion, It is categorized within ECO technologies. This is thanks to the electronic assistance offered by the energy management system. The battery is used to power the car’s electrical systems, which reduces the load on the main engine causing it to emit much less CO2. It also reduces wear due to low speed acceleration.
The car also includes all the technology found in cars of this current generation, such as a 9-inch touch screen that can be integrated with Android and iPhone smartphones. Its presentations stand out in both single-wheel drive and full-wheel drive.
An all-time classic, now low emissions
The new Japanese engine of the Suzuki Swift joins the alternatives to combustion engines with the ECO label, a trend that is rapidly spreading among all manufacturers given the need to comply with environmental regulations and offer better performance.
