A much more attractive front has been grafted on and, to be fair, the vehicle now, with its ‘family’ face, looks much better and no more the ugly duckling of the ute market.
Still with the 2L diesel motor, producing 114kW and 360Nm torque, it is not overly endowed with power, but compared to Toyota’s 3L diesel, producing only 126kW and 343Nm, this little engine gives it a run for your money.
Remember, with a diesel it’s the torque (twisting force) not power that gives the performance.
Available with a 6-speed manual or auto transmission, this ute is right up with the rest in its technology and equipment.
