Specifications

• Engine & Transmission
  Engine

  2523 cc, 4 Cylinders Inline, 4 Valves/Cylinder, DOHC

  Timely services will keep a motor efficient and in top shape.

  Engine Type

  m2DICR 4 Cylinder 2.5 L Engine, 4 Stroke, Turbo Charged, Direct Injection, Common Rail Diesel 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 Type

  Diesel

  All cars in India either run on petrol, diesel, CNG, LPG or electric power.

  Max Power (bhp@rpm)

  75 bhp @ 3200 rpm

  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)

  200 Nm @ 1400 rpm

  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)

  15 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

  Drivetrain

  RWD

  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).

  Transmission

  Manual - 5 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.

  Emission Standard

  BS 4

  Set by the Indian Government, this governs the amount of air pollutants released by cars to make the atmosphere safer for humans.

  Turbocharger / Supercharger

  Turbocharged

  Manufacturers today offer turbochargers to boost engine power without affecting its fuel economy. Superchargers are found in more expensive cars but on the downside, they are not very efficient.

  Turbochargers are more effective but require plenty of heat management. Superchargers, meanwhile, offer linear bump in power but they are comparatively more complex.

  • Valve/Cylinder (Configuration)
