2.7 (135 Hp) 4x4 Verdict:
Performance Verdict
This 2.7L engine provides adequate power (135 Hp) and torque (217 Nm) for a utilitarian pickup, especially when paired with the manual transmission and 4x4 system. It's built for ruggedness and off-road capability rather than high-speed performance, with a modest top speed of 140 km/h.
Fuel Economy
Fuel economy is a significant drawback, with urban consumption at 14.6 l/100 km and extra-urban at 12 l/100 km. This reflects its older engine design and heavy-duty nature, making it costly to run for daily commuting.
Pros and Cons:
Pros:
- • Exceptional off-road capability and ground clearance
- • Robust and simple construction, easy to maintain
- • Large cargo bed and high payload capacity
- • Good value for money in its specific niche
- • Durable leaf spring rear suspension for heavy loads
Cons:
- • Very high fuel consumption across all trims
- • Basic interior comfort and outdated design
- • Limited on-road performance and refinement
