Which 5 Suzuki models are the most fuel-efficient?​

It’s a well-known fact that Suzuki produces vehicles with strong, lightweight frames and small, dynamic engines supported by the latest technologies and smart design.

5 Suzuki models with fuel consumption of less than 5l per 100 km are: Celerio; S-Presso; Ignis; Dzire; and Swift.

Celerio  

The compact Suzuki Celerio emerges as a standout in fuel-efficient hatchbacks. Its impressive fuel economy peaks at a combined rating of up to 4.2 L/100 km (57 MPG). The Celerio is fuel efficient due to 3 key factors:

1.Lightweight structure
The Celerio is very light, weighing in at a lightweight 830kg.

2.Compact 1.0L engine
The 1.0ℓ Dualjet engine in the Celerio runs cooler, uses fuel more efficiently, and allows for quicker throttle response while giving you the benefits that the standard Engine Auto Stop-Start Technology brings.

3.Optimised front wheel drivetrain
Automated Manual Transmission (AMT) combines the fuel efficiency and direct drive feel of a manual transmission with automatic gear shifting and clutch operation making driving easier and more exciting.

S-Presso  

The Suzuki S-Presso delivers 4.4L/100 km for the automated manual transmission (AMT) version, and 4.6L/100 km for the manual transmission (MT) model. The S-Presso’s impressive fuel efficiency stems from 3 things: 

1.Engine Advancements
These include a K10C Dualjet engine that’s specifically designed for improved fuel efficiency with dual injectors and smaller combustion chambers. The engine’s auto start-stop system automatically shuts off the engine when the car stops, i.e. at robots, and restarts it when you need to move again. This is ideal for stop-and-go city traffic.​

2.Lightweight Construction
Suzuki’s HEARTECT platform ensures the car’s structure is strong yet lightweight, so less energy is needed to move it.

Transmission Options
The S-Presso manual transmission (MT) offers greater driver control and better fuel economy. Its Automated Manual Transmission (AMT) combines the convenience of an automatic with the improved fuel efficiency of a manual transmission.

Ignis

Despite a powerful 1.2L high-performance engine, this compact crossover SUV offers fuel consumption rates of just 4.9L/100 km. Other standout features of the Ignis include dual airbags, ABS with EBD, and a robust HEARTECT body.

The Suzuki Ignis’s economical performance is due to 3 key factors:

1.A Smaller, Efficient Engine
Its lightweight 1.2L engine delivers optimal performance, with CO2 emissions starting at just 114 g/km. It delivers a sustainable driving experience along with low running costs.

2.Efficient Aerodynamics
The Ignis’s compact and aerodynamic design reduces air resistance and improves mileage.

3.Advanced Engine Technology
The efficient engine features modern technology like variable valve timing that optimises fuel intake and combustion.

Dzire

The Suzuki Dzire, a subcompact, classically styled sedan, offers combined fuel economy ratings of 4.9 L/100km (48 MPG). Yet its high power and torque ensures a powerful, smooth ride.

The Suzuki Dzire 1.2 boasts 3 features which contribute to its fuel efficiency:

1.Efficient Engine Design
The Dzire is powered by a 1.2L VVT (Variable Valve Timing), high combustion, light-weight, highly efficient engine. It also emits low CO2 emissions of only 117 g/km, making it environmentally friendly.

2.Transmission Options
Its Auto Gear Shift (AGS) offers an intelligent shift-control actuator that optimises gear shifts and clutch control. Its 2.5-Speed manual transmission provides an optimal gear ratio for the engine and drivetrain, striking a skilful balance between fuel efficiency and power performance.

3.Lightweight Construction
The Dzire is assembled on Suzuki’s lightweight HEARTECT platform. At only 890 kg, the new Dzire weighs a significant 75 kg less than its predecessor.

Swift

The compact third-generation Suzuki Swift with its 1.2L petrol engine ensures exceptional fuel efficiency with high power output. It offers a fuel economy level of around 4.9 L/100km (48 MPG) with CO2 emissions of only 117 g/km. This is achieved through a combination of 3 key factors:

1.Lightweight design
The new HEARTECT frame uses lighter, high tensile steel to form a continuous shape that improves the overall safety and NVH performance of the Swift.

2.Highly efficient engine
The Swift’s 1.2ℓ engine delivers unbelievable fuel-economy (4.9ℓ / 100km) without sacrificing output and torque.

3.Advanced front wheel drivetrain technology
Despite the engine’s small size, its heightened compression ratio results in better thermal efficiency and powerful driving.
