However, the all-new 1.5L diesel engine will be only a normal one without a mild-hybrid system. Maruti Suzuki codenames its 1.5L diesel motor as ‘E15A’ and brands it with ‘DDiS’ followed by torque number. Accordingly, the ‘E15A’ engine is called ‘DDiS 225’ and can produce max power of 94 bhp at 4,000 rpm and a peak torque of 225 Nm at 1,500-2,500 rpm.
