Meet the Dzire Hybrid:
The new Dzire Hybrid is powered by a hybrid engine coupled with a CVT gearbox. In terms of looks and design, it mirrors the Dzire sold in the Indian market. Notably, the Philippines version does not offer a sunroof, a feature available in India. It is equipped with a 1.2-liter 3-cylinder naturally aspirated Z12E engine enhanced with hybrid technology.
A Significant Engine Shift...
The primary difference between the Indian-spec and Philippines-spec Dzire Hybrid lies in the powertrain. While the Indian version includes a basic stop-start system, the Dzire Hybrid in the Philippines features a 12V SHVS (Suzuki's Smart Hybrid Vehicle System) setup. This is complemented by a small 0.072 kWh battery pack supplying power to a 2.19 kW (2.93 bhp) electric motor, assisting in torque and improving mileage.
