Why Is The Reintroduction Important?

The SUV’s fuel efficiency numbers for the petrol-MT combination had dropped by over 3 km/l, to 17.38 km/l, when the mild hybrid configuration was abandoned. The ZXi and ZXi+ MT versions of the SUV now boast a claimed mileage value of 19.89 km/l, an increase of slightly more than 2.5 km/l, thanks to the reinstatement of the mild hybrid technology. Even without the mild hybrid technology, the manual gearbox-equipped LXi and VXi models with lower specs still get 17.38 km/l.

Still A Petrol-only Offering
