The Suzuki e — Motor 136 is a fully electric powertrain introduced in 2023, featuring a permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) delivering 100 kW (136 PS) and 260 Nm of torque. This system provides instant acceleration and smooth power delivery across the entire rev range. The compact design maintains vehicle packaging while offering a range of up to 400 km on a single charge depending on model and driving conditions.
Fitted to models such as the Suzuki eVX and upcoming ded…
Production years 2023-present exceed Euro 6d standards with zero tailpipe emissions and enhanced thermal management .
The Suzuki e-Motor 136 is a fully electric powertrain engineered for compact and mid-size vehicles (2023-present). It combines a high-efficiency permanent magnet synchronous motor with advanced battery management to deliver instant torque and zero emissions. Designed to exceed Euro 6d standards, it balances responsive performance with environmental sustainability without the complexity of internal combustion engines.

The Suzuki e-Motor 136 powertrain was used across Suzuki's eVX and dedicated EV platforms with front-wheel drive configuration. This system received platform-specific adaptations-enhanced cooling in the eVX and revised power management in upcoming dedicated EV models-and from 2024 the updated models featured enhanced insulation materials, creating interchange limits. All adaptations are documented in OEM technical bulletins.
Engine Finders UK Ltd, which operates EngineCode.uk, can pass your enquiry to engine suppliers in the UK. The service is for vehicles in the United Kingdom, with UK delivery or fitting. This is a commercially connected service, and sending an enquiry does not confirm diagnosis or compatibility.
Diagnostic reminder: If a technician has recommended replacing the engine, you can send an enquiry to engine suppliers in the UK. Confirm the diagnosis first: an engine-code record does not diagnose a fault.
Field reports and technical service bulletins highlight component wear patterns under high-load operation. Adherence to manufacturer service intervals and approved fluid specifications is critical for long-term reliability.
Analysis derived from manufacturer technical service bulletins and industry workshop records. Repair procedures should follow manufacturer guidelines.
The most common questions about engine codes, what they mean, how to find them and how this database works
The Suzuki e-Motor 136 is generally reliable when properly maintained, though early models (pre-2024) may experience high-voltage system insulation degradation in humid environments. Post-2024 models with enhanced insulation materials have improved durability. Regular software updates and proper charging habits are essential for long-term reliability.
The most common issues include high-voltage system insulation degradation in humid environments, battery capacity degradation, charging system faults, and motor controller overheating. These are well-documented in Suzuki service bulletins and can often be addressed through software updates or component replacement.
The Suzuki e-Motor 136 is currently used in the Suzuki eVX (2023-present) and updated Across EV (2024-present). Through the Toyota-Suzuki partnership, the powertrain technology is also shared with the Toyota Proace City Electric.
The Suzuki e-Motor 136 has limited tuning potential through software modifications, but any significant changes would void the warranty and could compromise battery longevity. The power output is carefully managed by the battery management system to ensure optimal performance and battery health.
The Suzuki e-Motor 136 offers a range of up to 400 km on a single charge according to WLTP testing. Real-world range may vary based on driving conditions, climate, and driving style, but typically ranges between 320-360 km in mixed driving conditions.
Charging times vary based on the method used. Using a standard 7.4 kW AC home charger, a full charge takes approximately 8 hours. With DC fast charging at 100 kW, the battery can be charged from 10% to 80% in about 40 minutes.
The Suzuki e-Motor 136 requires minimal maintenance compared to internal combustion engines. Regular software updates, tire rotations, brake fluid changes, and cabin air filter replacements are the primary maintenance items. The battery and electric motor require no scheduled maintenance beyond periodic inspections.
