2.7 (128 Hp) Verdict:
Performance Verdict
The 2.7-liter ZMZ-409.10 engine provides adequate low-end torque (218 Nm @ 2500 rpm) for off-road driving and hauling. While its 128 Hp is modest for its displacement, it's sufficient for utility tasks, though on-road acceleration and top speed (140 km/h) are limited.
Fuel Economy
Given the engine's naturally aspirated design, vehicle's kerb weight (2090 kg), and 4x4 drivetrain, fuel economy is expected to be poor. The large 87-liter fuel tank compensates for frequent refueling.
