Engine details revealed – Cartoq
Suzuki has officially launched the new Swift in Japan, shedding light on key details of the India-bound hatchback. The latest iteration features a 1.2-litre, 3-cylinder petrol engine known as the Z12E, belonging to Suzuki’s Z Series of engines. While the engine specifics remained undisclosed during the fourth-gen Swift’s unveiling at the Tokyo Motor Show, we now have comprehensive insights into power outputs, gearbox options, and mileage figures for the Japan-spec Swift.
The Japanese market Swift boasts a 1,197cc, 12-valve DOHC engine generating 82hp at 5,700rpm and 108Nm at 4,500rpm. The available transmission is a CVT gearbox, and Suzuki offers a mild-hybrid variant that enhances performance with an additional 3.1hp and 60Nm of torque from a DC synchronous motor. Notably, the standard and mild-hybrid Swift models exhibit fuel efficiency figures of 23.4kpl and 24.5kpl, respectively, based on the WLTP cycle.
The new Z12E engine, designed for the Swift, prioritizes robust pulling power at the lower end of the rev range, distinguishing it from the free-revving nature of the current K12 engine. While the K12 engine in the existing Swift, a four-cylinder 1,197cc unit, produces 90hp at 6,000rpm and 113Nm at 4,400rpm, the Z12E aims for enhanced volumetric efficiency and torque.
The Japanese market Swift also offers 4WD versions to cater to diverse driving preferences. Turning our attention to the India-bound Maruti Swift, set to debut in the second half of 2024, it will share the Z12E engine. However, specific power outputs and fuel efficiency figures remain undisclosed at this stage. Expectations include the availability of a mild hybrid option at launch, with the likelihood of an AMT transmission, a 5-speed manual gearbox, and exclusively front-wheel drive (FWD) for the Indian variant. Road testing for the next-gen Swift is already underway in India, with further details expected to be revealed in the coming months.
No Strong Hybrid
Just a year ago, rumours were rife that the all-new, 4th generation Maruti Suzuki Swift would get a strong hybrid powertrain, resulting in a stunning fuel efficiency number of around 35 Kmpl. Evidently, this hasn’t panned out, at least in Japan, where the petrol mild hybrid powertrain gives the car a claimed mileage number a little less than 25 Kmpl. Expect this number to be similar in the Indian context as well if Maruti decides to retain the 1.2 liter, triple cylinder Z12E motor. The same powertrain is likely to be used on the Maruti Dzire compact sedan, which is expected to launch months after the all-new Swift.
