Dual injectors are placed close to the intake valves for injecting atomised fuel and the compression ratio is raised for efficient fuel combustion, the combustion temperatures are lowered and pumping loss is reduced by the cooled exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system, and adoption of roller rocker arms for valve lifters reduces frictional speed.
SHVS mild hybrid system
The 12V SHVS mild hybrid system incorporates an integrated starter generator (ISG), which performs as a generator as well as an electric motor, and a lithium-ion battery. In situations such as when starting from a standstill or accelerating, the system helps suppress fuel consumption by providing electric motor assist using electricity generated through regenerative braking.

A straight type shift pattern is adopted for the automatic transmission for simple and easy operation while the manual transmission features light, smooth and precise gear shifting.
