Overview

  • Suzuki’s Sept. 9 Technology Strategy Briefing confirmed a new direct-injection 1.5-litre turbo petrol engine targeted for commercialization around 2030.
  • Flex-fuel rollouts in India progress with E20 vehicles already delivered since April 2025 and E85-capable four-wheelers slated to enter production within the current fiscal year.
  • The Super Ene-Charge 48V mild-hybrid system has moved beyond feasibility into development, with series hybrids next and plug-in hybrids expected to arrive for larger classes closer to 2030.
  • Lean-battery electrification advances include the e‑Vitara BEV launch overseas and a roadmap to second- and third-generation e‑Axle and battery systems by about 2035.
  • Suzuki is building compressed biogas plants with dairy cooperatives to power CNG models starting in 2025, while its S‑Light program has delivered about 80 kg weight savings toward a 100 kg target by 2030.
