3.2 DI-D (187 Hp) Super Select 4WD INVECS-II Verdict:
Performance Verdict
The 3.2 DI-D engine provides strong low-end torque, making it excellent for off-roading and towing. While 0-100 km/h in 10.4 seconds is not quick, it's adequate for a heavy-duty SUV.
Fuel Economy
With a combined fuel consumption of 9 l/100 km, the 3.2 DI-D is reasonable for a large, heavy 4x4 from this era, though modern SUVs offer better efficiency. Urban consumption is higher as expected.
Pros and Cons:
Pros:
- • Exceptional off-road capability with Super Select 4WD
- • High towing capacity (3000 kg)
- • Robust and reliable 3.2 DI-D engine
- • Durable construction, built to last
- • Spacious for its 3-door configuration
Cons:
- • Dated interior design and technology
- • On-road handling can feel ponderous
- • Fuel economy is not competitive with modern SUVs
- • Ride comfort can be firm on paved roads
- • High emissions (Euro 6b, but still a large diesel)
