Developed in-house, the new 1.5-litre DDiS 225 diesel engine offers improvement on several fronts:
· Improved engine performance: The new powertrain is developed to deliver enhanced performance, with a peak torque of 225Nm@1500-2500rpm and maximum power of 94hp@4000rpm.
· Improved low end torque: The 1.5 litre DDiS 225 diesel engine comes with a high efficiency turbo charger which generates higher low-end torque through optimisation, which makes city driving completely effortless.
· Refined NVH characteristics: The use of a Dual Mass Flywheel (DMF) along with optimised compression ratio reduces engine fluctuations& contributes to superior NVH performance, thereby giving a comfortable driving experience.
· Best-in-class Fuel efficiency: Use of light-weight aluminium casted cylinder head and block along with optimised engine calibration contributes to improved fuel efficiency.
Newly designed 6-speed transmission:
A newly designed 6-speed transmission, mated to the DDiS 225 engine completes the powertrain package. This new transmission ensures a smooth drive and light gear shift feel. For the ease of driving and manoeuvrability, position of reverse gear is relocated next to 1st gear to reduce hand motion duringtight parking conditions.
With the addition of this new powerful engine, the new Ciaz will now be available with 1.5 litre capacity in both petrol (K15 with Next-Gen Smart Hybrid) and diesel (DDiS 225)powertrain options.
