Tuesday, April 30, 2019
  • 1.5-litre DDiS 225 engine makes 5PS and 25Nm more than the Fiat-sourced 1.3-litre diesel.
  • Claimed fuel efficiency figure stands at 24.04 kmpl.
  • This comes shortly after Maruti's announcement to phase out diesel engines by April 2020.
  • Maruti has also hinted that it could upgrade the 1.5-litre diesel motor to BS 6 norms, if there is demand.
  • 1.3-litre diesel variants to be on sale till stocks last.

, it has also specified that the 1.5-litre diesel motor could be updated to BS 6 compliance, if there is demand.

When it comes to power figures, the DDiS 225 churns out 95PS of power at 4,000rpm and 225Nm of peak torque between 1500-2500rpm, thanks to the high efficiency turbocharger that aids in peak torque output from low rpm. Maruti Suzuki is also claiming an impressive efficiency figure of 24.20kmpl for the new engine. Here is a snapshot of the performance figures for the new motor in comparison to the old Fiat-sourced DDiS 200.

1.5-litre DDiS 225
Power 90PS 95PS
Torque 200Nm 225Nm
Transmission 5-speed manual 6-speed manual
Efficiency 25.47 kmpl 24.02 kmpl

Not only does the new engine make more power and torque, but it also gets an advanced 6-speed manual transmission as opposed to the 5-speed manual gearbox. The claimed efficiency figure is also impressive, even though it is a notch below the old 1.3-litre engine, which is understandable. While the new engine is available only from VDI onwards, the variants with the old 1.3-litre motor will continue to be on sale until stocks last. Post that,
