Integrated Starter Generator

Idle Start Stop : Belt driven ISG ensures a quick and silent restarting of the engine as soon as clutch is pressed using the stored energy from the advanced dual battery system.

Torque Assist: It assists engine power during acceleration using the energy stored in the advanced dual battery system.

Brake Energy Regeneration : The ISG converts the energy from braking/deceleration of the car and stores it in the advanced dual battery system

Advanced Dual Battery System

High Capacity Lead Acid & Li-ion Battery : The advanced dual battery system stores the energy generated while braking/decelerating, provide power to ISG that assists during acceleration and idle start/stop operation of the car. This combination results into a peppy, powerful & fuel efficient vehicle.

Smart Hybrid Technology

Smart Hybrid is an advanced technology that helps increase fuel efficiency and enhances driving performance. The engine automatically stops when idle and silently starts when the optimal conditions are met in manual and automatic transmissions. It comes with a dual battery setup including a Lithium Ion Battery. These high capacity batteries store the energy generated during braking to assist the engine's idle start-stop and the torque assist functions. The energy stored in the Lithium-ion battery assists during acceleration which helps engine in providing optimal acceleration and performance.

Advantages of Smart Hybrid Technology

Performance

The torque assist function supplements the engine’s power during acceleration which reduces the load on engine and the brake energy regeneration function captures the energy lost during braking and deceleration of vehicle, eventually improving the engine life & performance.

Improved fuel efficiency

Engineered for better performance and fuel-efficiency and a cleaner way of mobility, the Smart Hybrid technology by Maruti Suzuki has an Integrated Starter Generator (ISG) along with a dual battery setup comprising of a high-capacity Pb-Acid and Lithium-ion battery. Its Brake Energy Regeneration function converts the energy from braking and deceleration and stores it within the batteries to assist motor functions, namely Idle Stop Start and Torque Assist. This combination results into a peppy, powerful & fuel-efficient drive and performance.

Reduction in emissions

The Smart Hybrid Technology helps reduce emissions by saving fuel consumption and improving efficiency thereby helping keep environment clean and green

1. How does Smart Hybrid technology work in cars?

Buying a Maruti Suzuki car with Smart Hybrid technology is a great idea. This revolutionary technology helps enhance the car’s performance as well as fuel efficiency through its three main functions - Idle Start Stop, Brake Energy Regeneration and Torque Assist.
Brake Energy Regeneration works during deceleration – it kicks in to store the converted electric energy in the batteries. This essentially means that the dual battery setup is self-charging in nature.
Torque Assist supplements the engine’s power during acceleration to reduce engine load while Idle Start Stop saves fuel in stop-go traffic. Thanks to all this, Smart Hybrid technology delivers better performance, ensures longer engine life, enhances fuel efficiency and reduces emissions.

2. How does Intelligent Electric Hybrid technology work?

Available in NEXA Grand Vitara, Intelligent Electric Hybrid technology makes the SUV deliver enhanced performance, better fuel efficiency, quieter driving characteristics, and lower emissions.
This full hybrid system can drive in pure petrol mode, battery mode, and also harness the best of these two modes for superior drivability and fuel efficiency.

3. Does Maruti Suzuki offer Smart Hybrid Technology in both naturally aspirated and turbocharged petrol engines?

Yes, for naturally aspirated engines, Maruti Suzuki offers Smart Hybrid Technology in Ertiga and Brezza within the Arena lineup, and for NEXA cars, it is available in the Ciaz, XL6, Grand Vitara, and Fronx.

4. What role does an ISG play in Smart Hybrid cars by Maruti Suzuki?

Helping reduce the load on the engine, Integrated Starter Generator (ISG) replaces the conventional starter motor and alternator in Maruti Suzuki Smart Hybrid cars. The ISG fulfils a number of functions that help the car deliver better performance and fuel efficiency. At the time of braking or deceleration, the ISG converts the brake energy into electrical energy and stores it in the dual battery setup. This stored energy is used for the Idle Start Stop function to conserve fuel in stop-go traffic and also in Torque Assist where ISG supplements the engine during acceleration to reduce engine stress and improve fuel economy.
