The other two diesel units include a four cylinder 2143 cc engine and the most potent 3.0- litre V6 engine that delivers some impressive numbers. It’s bigger diesel unit is quite capable of churning out impressive numbers managing 261 hp at 3800 rpm and a staggering 620 Nm of peak torque which is available easily post 1600 rpm. Mated to a high performing 7 speed Tronic plus automatic transmission unit, the gear shifts can be anytime controlled by the driver using Direct Select lever which lets you enjoy swift gear shifts through steering mounted paddle shifters.

Its Direct Control suspension setup which makes use of selective damping system is capable enough to adapt to varied terrains that makes city as well as highway rides a pleasant affair for the occupants inside.
