28.09 Kmpl Ciaz SHVS Diesel Hybrid Launched; Price Starts at 8.23 Lakhs

To take the competition to a different level altogether, Maruti Suzuki has today launched its new Ciaz SHVS diesel hybrid car at an event in Delhi. The mild-hybrid system increases the ARAI certified fuel efficiency of Ciaz diesel to a whooping 28.09 kmpl from 26.21 kmpl of the now-discontinued diesel-only Ciaz.

Ciaz SHVS comes with Integrated Starter Generator (ISG) and a high capacity battery. The energy saved while braking/decelerating is stored and it assists during acceleration which, Maruti claims, helps in enhancing the ride of the car.
