Engine & Transmission
- Engine3197 cc, 6 Cylinders In V Shape, 4 Valves/Cylinder
Timely services will keep a motor efficient and in top shape.
- Engine TypeV6 spark-ignition with petrol direct injection engine
The official title given by the manufacturer in terms of the name of the engine, the displacement and the number of cylinders.
A bigger displacement and more than four-cylinders generally indicate a performance-oriented engine.
- Fuel TypePetrol
All cars in India either run on petrol, diesel, CNG, LPG or electric power.
- Max Power (bhp@rpm)265@6500
Gives a good idea of the performance of the vehicle under full thrust. A higher figure here usually means a higher top speed as well.
Higher the power, the peppier the engine but it can also affect fuel economy.
- Max Torque (Nm@rpm)330@3000
Relates to in-gear acceleration. A higher figure here means better roll-on acceleration, fewer gear shifts, and possibly better fuel efficiency.
The more torque at low RPM range makes the engine feel more responsive. It also allows the engine to run smoothly without too many gear changes.
- Mileage (ARAI)6.7 kmpl
This is the maximum fuel efficiency that an engine gives. All numbers are provided by the manufacturer based on tests conducted and specified by the standards of the ARAI (Automotive Research Association of India)
Such fuel efficiency attained while driving in special conditions makes it unlikely to get it in real-world conditions
- Drivetrain4WD / AWD
Cars come with different drivetrain configurations depending on the segment.
Front-wheel drive (FWD) is most common in mainstream cars while expensive cars or SUVs come with rear-wheel drive (RWD) or all-wheel drive (AWD).
- TransmissionAutomatic - 6 Gears
Type of transmission used to transfer power from the engine to the wheels
A manually operated transmission is the most popular type, thanks to its simplicity and low cost. Varied types of automatic transmissions are also available.
- Valve/Cylinder (Configuration)4
Dimensions & Weight
- Length4703 mm
The length of the car decides its segment. In India, cars that are less than 4 metres in length enjoy reduced excise duties.
- Length: 4703
Longer length results in more cabin space. It also adds to straight line stability.
- Width1826 mm
A car's width is defined as its widest point without its mirrors.
- Width: 1826
Although more width gives you more lateral space inside the cabin, it makes the car more difficult to park in narrow spots.
- Height1427 mm
The height of the car denotes the highest point of the vehicle from the ground.
- Height: 1427
Taller the car, the more headroom there is on offer inside the cabin. However, a tall boy stance also affect the car’s centre of gravity which can cause more body roll.
- Wheelbase2808 mm
The space between the center of the front and rear wheels.
- Wheelbase: 2808
The longer the wheelbase, the more space there is inside the cabin.
Capacity
- Doors4 Doors
The number of doors define the category of car. For example – four door means sedan, two-door means coupe while five-doors usually refer to a hatchback, MPV or an SUV.
- Doors: 4
- Seating Capacity5 Person
The number of people that can be seated comfortably in the car, which has also been mandated by the car manufacturer.
- Seating Capacity: 5
- Fuel Tank Capacity64 litres
The official volume of the fuel tank of a car, usually denoted in litres.
If a car has a large fuel tank, it can cover long distances without refuelling.
Suspensions, Brakes, Steering & Tyres
- Front SuspensionFive-link front suspension, upper and lower wishbones, tubular anti-roll bar
Almost all cars in India use an independent front suspension which is usually the MacPherson Strut type.
- Rear SuspensionIndependent-wheel, trapezoidal-link rear suspension with resiliently mounted subframe, anti-roll bar
The rear suspension can either be non-independent or independent.
Most of the budget cars have non-independent suspension while the more expensive ones get independent rear suspension which offers better bump absorption.
- Front Brake TypeDisc
Most of the vehicles sold in India get ventilated or non-ventilated disc brakes upfront.
- The ventilated discs are more popular thanks to them providing better stopping power and it also works well in hot conditions.
- Rear Brake TypeDisc
In affordable cars, drums brakes are fitted at the rear as they are cost effective.
Disc setup at the rear is now getting more popular as cars are getting faster in the real world.
- Minimum Turning Radius6.1 metres
The official kerb-to-kerb minimum radius a car takes to complete a 180-degree turn.
Shorter the turning radius, the lesser space you need to make a tight turn or to take a U-turn.
- Front Tyres225 / 55 R16
The profile/dimension of rubber tyre that fits on the front wheels.
- Rear Tyres225 / 55 R16
The profile/dimension of rubber tyre that fits on the rear wheels.
