Thank you for your interest in Maruti Suzuki Arena .
From revolutionary technologies to caring for the environment; Maruti Suzuki has always been cognizant of its role in driving sustainable mobility in the country. Over the years, we have been innovating to make driving smarter and better for all of us. One of such key innovations is the Smart Hybrid technology that enhances both performance and fuel-efficiency.
But what makes Smart Hybrid the smarter option for Indian roads? To answer that, you must understand what Smart Hybrid technology is. This system, instead of a conventional alternator, comprises of an Integrated Starter Generator (ISG) which essentially takes care of the motor functions and regenerative braking of the dual battery setup.
Now that you know what the Smart Hybrid technology is, let’s explain the working of Smart Hybrid technology: -
• Brake Energy Regeneration
In this, ISG converts kinetic energy (that’s generated from braking and slowing down) into electrical energy and then stores it in the batteries. This stored energy is then used by the ISG in motor functions such as Idle-Start-Stop and Torque assist function.
• Idle Stop-Start
On a red-light or in bumper-to-bumper traffic, whenever all the optimum conditions are met, the Idle Stop-Start function automatically turns off the engine. And when you depress the clutch, the energy stored in the batteries of the setup turns on the engine again. This helps in enhancing the fuel-efficiency of the car.
• Torque Assist
The Torque Assist function directly helps in improving the fuel efficiency of the car. In this, ISG supplements the engine during acceleration which improves the overall drivability and reducing fuel consumption when the car is picking up speed.
Smart Hybrid technology has revolutionized the way India drives, helping Maruti Suzuki deliver the most fuel-efficient hybrid cars in India . When will you take the step up?
