Like the Optra from the rear, SRV from the front but unlike either when you pop the hood. The 2L, 121PS common rail diesel engine delivers as an exhilarating experience. Other strongholds of Optra are carried forward with the Magnum. Ride is plush, interiors exude rich feel, gearbox has improved. Steering is still a little lazy though. Overall, a hoot to drive.
