Rating 3 stars

Performance Verdict

Underpowered for highway speeds or significant loads, this engine is best suited for city driving and very light off-road use. Acceleration is leisurely.

Slightly better economy than the 2.0L, but still not outstanding given its modest power output and 4WD drivetrain losses.

Best Use Case: City driving, light rural use, and budget-conscious buyers.
