Japanese automotive giants Toyota & Suzuki have joined hands to help cut their developmental costs. The venture has been decided for the Japanese markets and the effects of this new partnership are being felt as far as the Indian shores. Quite soon, Toyota will use the new 1.5-liter K-series petrol engine that Suzuki has developed for the Ciaz facelift.
With the engine replacing the current 1.4-liter K14B engine, it will be an upgrade for the Ciaz and the Ertiga, but for the Toyota Corolla, it will be a downgrade. The Corolla Altis currently uses a 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 140 HP of maximum power and 173 Nm of peak torque. When the Suzuki K-Series engine makes it to the Corolla Altis, it will surely get a re-tuning to help with a significant power bump to come somewhat close to what the current power numbers are. Toyota could also go the full hybrid way like it has with the Camry. This could be done if the engine does not get a re-tune and Toyota uses it as it is.
