Maruti Suzuki showcased two vehicles at Delhi Auto Expo which were their entries for the Technology Day organized by SIAM and Ministry of Heavy Industries. Maruti Suzuki officials remained tight lipped about their market introductions but said studies were on to see the suitability of these highly fuel efficient hybrid cars. Do they need an introduction?
The SX4 hybrid is powered by a 1.2-liter four-cylinder petrol engine paired to a 30KW electric motor consuming 30% less fuel. The Swift on the other hand uses a sub-1 liter engine paired to a similarly powered electric motor.
The Swift hybrid is based on the previous generation model.
