Japanese car manufacturer Suzuki claims that the hybrid system equipped in the Solio and Solio Bandit are the most fuel efficient in Japan.

Suzuki states that the cars will deliver a mileage of 32km/l. The newly developed hybrid system is based on the Suzuki's parallel hybrid system.

The parallel hybrid system combines a Motor Generator Unit (MGU) to an Auto Gear Shift (AGS). MGU is a small driving motor which packs big amount of energy.

AGS is a lightweight, compact and reliable transmission. Combining both the units will deliver smooth acceleration by complementing with MGU's power while changing gears.

The new hybrid system offers two driving modes - Normal Mode and Eco Mode. This allows the driver to select between two modes depending on the driving conditions.

The driving modes also play a very important role in increasing the frequency of EV driving. Apart from that, all the variants of the Solio will be benefited from the eco-car tax exemption in Japan.
