The Suzuki M engine family is a line of automobile engines from Suzuki. Ranging in displacement from 1.3 L to 1.8 L, it is a modern engine line with dual overhead cams, 16 valves, and multi-point fuel injection (MPFI). Fully developed in-house following Suzuki's separation from General Motors, the M engine replaced the long-lived G engine family.[1]

M13A

The M13A displaces 1328cc; bore and stroke is NaN2NaN2. It has a 9.5:1 compression ratio and two variants:

M13AA

The M13AA is an automotive engine manufactured by Suzuki Motor Corporation. The M13AA is a 1328cc inline-four cylinder, 16 valve VVT engine used in the Suzuki Jimny, Suzuki Swift & Suzuki Ignis from 2005.

1.3 M13AA 1328cc DOHC 16v MPFI VVT (Jimny)

M15A

The M15A displaces 1490cc; bore is and stroke NaN2NaN2. This engine has a variable valve timing valvetrain. With a 9.5:1 compression ratio, it produces at 5,900 rpm and at 4,100 rpm. The M15A used in the Suzuki Ignis (HT81S) has a higher compression ratio of 11.0:1, and produces at 6400 rpm and at 4100 rpm.

Application:

M16A

The M16A displaces 1586cc. Bore is and stroke NaN2NaN2. This engine has a DOHC variable valve timing valve train and a multipoint injection system. The engine had many iterations, depending on the car in which it was installed and the intended use of the car. The M16A engine uses a chain cam instead of a cam belt. General dimensions:

Application:

M18A

The M18A is based on the M16A, with a larger bore. It is the only M-series engine to use a different bore.[1] It displaces 1796cc; bore and stroke is NaNmm. This engine has a variable valve timing valvetrain. With a 9.6:1 compression ratio, it produces at 5,500 rpm and 1700NaN0 at 4,200 rpm.

Due to the engine block being based on the same casting, a M16A cylinder head can be bolted onto a M18a shortblock with minor modifications. This has been done by tuners, by installing a M18A block with the stock internals (crank, pistons and rods) in a Suzuki Swift Sport, in order to have more torque on the whole rev band.
