Interestingly, this SX4 uses a previously unseen hybrid system developed by Maruti Suzuki with assistance from India&#8217;s National Hybrid Propulsion Program and the (deep breath) Ministry of New and Renewable Energy Sources&#8217; High Energy Density Battery Development Program.<\/p>\n<p> This new hybrid drivetrain is a full parallel system &#8211; meaning it can run on electricity alone for short distances &#8211; utilizing a 1.2-liter gasoline-burning engine with a 50 kW electric motor. Unlike many hybrids that use a CVT transmission, the SX4 is equipped with a five-speed automated manual unit. A lithium ion battery pack of unknown capacity stores the electrons.<\/p>\n<p> Suzuki will be demonstrating its SX4 Hybrid during India&#8217;s Common Wealth Games in October and plans to have the technology in full production as early as 2015.<\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<div class=\"postgallery\">\n<p><strong>Gallery: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/suzuki-sx4-hybrid-concept\/low\/\">Suzuki SX4 Hybrid Concept<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/suzuki-sx4-hybrid-concept\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/01\/suzuki-sx4-hybrid-newdelhi-large_7_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/suzuki-sx4-hybrid-concept\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/01\/suzuki-sx4-hybrid-newdelhi-large_2_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/suzuki-sx4-hybrid-concept\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/01\/suzuki-sx4-hybrid-newdelhi-large_6_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/suzuki-sx4-hybrid-concept\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/01\/suzuki-sx4-hybrid-newdelhi-large_1_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/suzuki-sx4-hybrid-concept\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/01\/suzuki-sx4-hybrid-newdelhi-large_3_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p> [Source: Suzuki | Live Images: <a href=\"http:\/\/indianautosblog.com\/\">Shrawan Raja<\/a>]<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2010\/01\/05\/new-delhi-2010-suzuki-unveils-sx4-hybrid-concept-plans-for-201\/\">Auto Expo 2010: Suzuki unveils SX4 Hybrid Concept, plans for 2015 production<\/a> originally appeared on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\">Autoblog<\/a> on Tue, 05 Jan 2010 16:00:00 EST.
