Rating 7 stars

Performance Verdict

The 2.3D engine provides adequate power and, more importantly, strong torque (270 Nm) at low RPMs, making it well-suited for off-road driving and hauling. On-road performance is modest but sufficient for its class.

With a combined fuel consumption of 9.5 l/100 km, this diesel engine offers reasonable economy for a heavy, body-on-frame off-road vehicle, especially compared to its gasoline counterpart.
