Engine: 1.5L K15 Smart Hybrid Petrol
The 2026 Ciaz continues to be powered by the reliable 1.5-litre K15 Smart Hybrid petrol engine. This powertrain is equipped with an Integrated Starter Generator (ISG) and a dual-battery setup (Lithium-ion and Lead Acid). The system assists with torque during acceleration and features an Idle Start-Stop function to reduce fuel consumption during city idling.
Max Power: 103.25 bhp | Max Torque: 138 Nm
Tuned for a smooth and linear power delivery, the Ciaz produces 103.25 bhp at 6,000 rpm and 138 Nm of peak torque at 4,400 rpm. While it focuses more on chauffeur-driven comfort than outright speed, the engine remains silent and refined, providing enough pull for effortless highway cruising.
Mileage: 20.65 kmpl (MT) / 20.04 kmpl (AT)
Efficiency remains the Ciaz's strongest suit in the mid-size sedan segment. The manual version delivers an ARAI-certified 20.65 kmpl, while the automatic variant is nearly as efficient at 20.04 kmpl. These figures are achieved through brake energy regeneration, where the ISG converts kinetic energy into electricity to charge the hybrid batteries.
