THE former 1.8-litre four-cylinder petrol engine has been replaced by a 2.5-litre V6 mated exclusively to a five-speed semi-automatic transmission. The V6 is an all-alloy 24-valve quad-cam unit developing 130kW at 6500rpm and 240Nm at 4000rpm. It uses premium unleaded, has a fuel tank capacity of 59 litres and is claimed to reach 100km/h from standstill in 11.1 seconds. Official fuel consumption figures point to 11.0L/100km (city), 6.8L/100km (highway). A new 2.0-litre twin-cam 16-valve common-rail turbo-diesel engine, known as Td4, is also available. The oil-burner produces 82kW at 4000rpm (up 15 per cent) and a stump-pulling 260Nm at a low 1750rpm (up 24 per cent).
