Specifications

• Engine & Transmission
  Engine

  1948 cc

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

  Fuel Type

  Diesel

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

  Max Power (bhp@rpm)

  91 bhp @ 4300 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)

  190 Nm @ 2000 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)

  10.63 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

  FWD

  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.

  Length

  4520 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: 4520

  Longer length results in more cabin space. It also adds to straight line stability.

  Width

  1940 mm

  A car's width is defined as its widest point without its mirrors.

  Although more width gives you more lateral space inside the cabin, it makes the car more difficult to park in narrow spots.

  Height

  2050 mm

  The height of the car denotes the highest point of the vehicle from the ground.

  

  • Height: 2050

  • Wheelbase: 2780

  The longer the wheelbase, the more space there is inside the cabin.

  Ground Clearance

  165 mm

  It’s the space between the lowest point of the car and the ground.

  

  • Ground Clearance: 165

  If the car has a good amount of clearance, it’s easier for it to clear big speed breakers and overall, deal with bad roads.

  Kerb Weight

  1620 kg

  The total weight of the vehicle with all the standard equipment and all the required fluids.

  A lightweight car will always be more efficient and easier to manoeuvre whereas a heavy car would give you a sense of solidity while driving.
