2025 Suzuki Vitara

DualJet

1.5L I4 Mild Hybrid

A smooth, unhurried naturally aspirated four that prioritizes thrift over thrust, with a small integrated starter-generator smoothing stop-start and lending a faint electric shove off the line.

Suzuki's K15C from its long-running K-series family, paired with SHVS (Smart Hybrid Vehicle by Suzuki), the brand's in-house mild-hybrid system used across markets with stricter emissions rules in Europe, Japan and India.

• The 'DualJet' name refers to twin fuel injectors per cylinder, one aimed at each intake valve, which improves atomization and lets Suzuki run a higher compression ratio.
• SHVS is offered in both 12-volt and 48-volt forms depending on market, the same architecture Suzuki shares with Toyota-built SUVs.
• It uses a water-cooled EGR system and oil-jet piston cooling, efficiency tricks usually reserved for larger engines.
