High torque: 420 Nm @ 2,000 rpm – excellent for quick acceleration and overtaking.
Feels much stronger than typical 1.5–1.8L petrol engines.
Smooth and refined for a diesel.
Real-world consumption: 20–24 km/l on highway.
Great for long-distance drivers or commuters.
Lower running cost compared to petrol engines (especially in countries where diesel is cheaper).
Low-compression diesel engine (unusual, more efficient).
Lightweight chassis + fuel-saving features:
i-Stop (engine idle stop)
i-ELOOP (regenerative braking system)
Makes it one of the most advanced diesels in its class.
Sporty, precise steering – comparable to a VW Golf or Ford Focus.
Independent rear suspension (multi-link) makes it comfortable and stable.
Very fun to drive compared to Toyota Auris or Honda Civic.
