 and either MPFI or a carburator. It has a single overhead camshaft driving six valves.

A 73.9 mm (2.91 in) bore and 77 mm (3.03 in) stroke give the engine a total of 1.0 L (993 cc/60 in³) of displacement. It produces 48 hp at 5100 rpm and 77 newton metre at 3200 rpm with 9.5:1 compression in the carburated model, 55 hp at 5700 rpm and 79 newton metre at 3300 rpm in the fuel injected model. The original home market version originally offered a carburated 60 hp JIS at 5500 rpm, later power output fluctuated around 52-55 hp

From 1984 to 1988 the standard G10 engine used a hemispherical head carbureted design with mechanical lifters. From 1989 to 2001 the engine received updates in the form of throttle body injection and hydraulic lifters. A detuned 49 hp unit, with a slightly different camshaft, 2-ring pistons and differently tuned engine control unit

, was used in the ultra-fuel-efficient Geo Metro XFi model, which delivered as much as 58 miles per gallon. In the US, the G10 in the 2000 Chevrolet Metro became the last engine available on an American-sold vehicle to use throttle body injection for fuel delivery.

Through the 1985-1991 model years a turbocharged MPFI version of the G10 was offered in some markets. This engine delivered 73 hp at 4500 rpm and 115 lbft at 3500 rpm. This turbocharged engine, with mechanical lifters, was available in both the US and Canadian Firefly/Sprint/Forsa from 1987-88. Only the Canadian Firefly/Sprint had this option, with hydraulic lifters, in the 1989-1991 model years. In the domestic Japanese market, the car was originally carburated (80 hp JIS @ 5500 rpm, 118 newton metre @ 3500 rpm) and went on sale in June 1984. In October 1987, along with a facelift, the home market Turbo received fuel injection and power output went up to 82 hp JIS, torque to 120 newton metre. It was a short-lived version, however, as by September 1988 the car was no longer on sale in Japan.

 in India in 1993. It was a 4 cylinder 993cc (72mm X 61mm) SOHC 8-valve engine and is the first all-aluminum engine Suzuki made for the Indian market. It was sold in both carburetted and MPFI form. It was widely used in motorsport in India due to its light weight and tunability. The mounting points of the engine block were similar to that of the G13 and so an engine swap was a relatively easy task. It was phased out when production of Zen ceased in 2006. It was made only in India but was sold in all countries the Zen was sold.

 engine utilizing aluminum alloy for the block, cylinder head and pistons. It is derived from the G13BB engine by reducing the bore to 71mm to dispace 1.2 L (1196 cc/ in³). Stroke remains the same at 75.5mm. It has a SOHC 16V head and the fuel delivery is by multi-point fuel injection. It is Euro-4 emissions compliant. It has lighter pistons and other detail improvements to be a more fuel efficient engine than the G13BB on which it is based. Maruti modified the engine to displace less than 1200 cc to take advantage of the reduced excise duty on such vehicles.

This engine was made with different valvetrain designs: 8 or 16 valve SOHC or 16 valve DOHC. All G13 Engines have a bore size of 74mm. G13A had 77mm stroke versus 75.5mm on all other G13 engines.
