Why buy Suzuki Hybrid?
Hybrid technology is standard with all models in the new Suzuki range. Explore what the benefits of Suzuki Hybrid mean for you.
1. Lower running costs
Suzuki Hybrid systems conserve fuel by restarting and assisting the petrol engine during acceleration, as well as driving the vehicle on zero-emission, electric-only power, depending on the type of hybrid. For mild hybrids (MEVs), the system will improve fuel economy by 10-15%*, while in other models, it can drive the car using just the electric motor, significantly improving fuel efficiency and lowering fuel costs.
2. Lower CO2 emissions
Hybrid vehicles are becoming increasingly popular as they emit fewer harmful CO2 emissions than conventional petrol or diesel cars. The electric motor that assists the petrol engine helps achieve better fuel efficiency and reduces the amount of carbon dioxide emissions, benefitting both the driver and the planet.
3. Improved driving experience
Together with advancements in efficiency, Suzuki Hybrid systems improve the way the cars drive by reducing engine noise and delivering a smoother ride. In mild hybrids (MEVs), the system operates as a starter motor when the engine has auto-stopped (traffic lights), then assists the engine restart. For full and plug-in hybrids, it can even drive the vehicle at low speeds using the electric motor.
4. No need to plug-in cables
All Suzuki models (except the Across PHEV) use a self-charging hybrid system. The energy normally lost during braking and acceleration is stored to generate electricity and charge the hybrid battery, so you don’t need to plug in the vehicle into charge.
5. No compromise to your driving
With a Suzuki Hybrid, you can drive as you would a regular non-hybrid car, meaning you don’t have to compromise your normal driving style. The hybrid components are light and compact, so the cars remain fun to drive and maintain their practical interior space without any compromise for the hybrid system. All models give the added reassurance that they can be driven using just the conventional petrol engine if required.
