Specifications

• Engine & Transmission
  Engine

  2199 cc, 4 Cylinders Inline, 4 Valves/Cylinder, DOHC

  Timely services will keep a motor efficient and in top shape.

  Engine Type

  2.2L CRDi

  The official title given by the manufacturer in terms of the name of the engine, the displacement and the number of cylinders.

  A bigger displacement and more than four-cylinders generally indicate a performance-oriented engine.

  Fuel Type

  Diesel

  All cars in India either run on petrol, diesel, CNG, LPG or electric power.

  Max Power (bhp@rpm)

  197 bhp @ 3800 rpm

  Gives a good idea of the performance of the vehicle under full thrust. A higher figure here usually means a higher top speed as well.

  Higher the power, the peppier the engine but it can also affect fuel economy.

  Max Torque (Nm@rpm)

  440 Nm @ 1750 rpm

  Relates to in-gear acceleration. A higher figure here means better roll-on acceleration, fewer gear shifts, and possibly better fuel efficiency.

  The more torque at low RPM range makes the engine feel more responsive. It also allows the engine to run smoothly without too many gear changes.

  Mileage (ARAI)

  13.9 kmpl

  This is the maximum fuel efficiency that an engine gives. All numbers are provided by the manufacturer based on tests conducted and specified by the standards of the ARAI (Automotive Research Association of India)

  Such fuel efficiency attained while driving in special conditions makes it unlikely to get it in real-world conditions

  Driving Range

  834 Km

  Approximate maximum number of kilometers which can be traveled on a full tank of fuel or fully charged battery

  Drivetrain

  FWD

  Cars come with different drivetrain configurations depending on the segment.

  Front-wheel drive (FWD) is most common in mainstream cars while expensive cars or SUVs come with rear-wheel drive (RWD) or all-wheel drive (AWD).

  Transmission

  Automatic (TC) - 8 Gears, Manual Override

  Type of transmission used to transfer power from the engine to the wheels

  A manually operated transmission is the most popular type, thanks to its simplicity and low cost. Varied types of automatic transmissions are also available.

  Emission Standard

  BS 6

  Set by the Indian Government, this governs the amount of air pollutants released by cars to make the atmosphere safer for humans.

  Turbocharger / Supercharger

  Turbocharged

  Manufacturers today offer turbochargers to boost engine power without affecting its fuel economy. Superchargers are found in more expensive cars but on the downside, they are not very efficient.

  Turbochargers are more effective but require plenty of heat management. Superchargers, meanwhile, offer linear bump in power but they are comparatively more complex.

• Dimensions & Weight
  Length

  5115 mm

  The length of the car decides its segment. In India, cars that are less than 4 metres in length enjoy reduced excise duties.

  

  • Length: 5115

  Longer length results in more cabin space. It also adds to straight line stability.

  Width

  1985 mm

  A car's width is defined as its widest point without its mirrors.

  

  • Width: 1985

  Although more width gives you more lateral space inside the cabin, it makes the car more difficult to park in narrow spots.

  Height

  1755 mm

  The height of the car denotes the highest point of the vehicle from the ground.

  

  • Height: 1755

  Taller the car, the more headroom there is on offer inside the cabin. However, a tall boy stance also affect the car’s centre of gravity which can cause more body roll.

  Wheelbase

  3060 mm

  The space between the center of the front and rear wheels.

  

  • Wheelbase: 3060

  The longer the wheelbase, the more space there is inside the cabin.

  Ground Clearance

  180 mm

  It’s the space between the lowest point of the car and the ground.

  

  • Ground Clearance: 180

  If the car has a good amount of clearance, it’s easier for it to clear big speed breakers and overall, deal with bad roads.

• Capacity
  Doors
  5 Doors
  The number of doors define the category of car. For example – four door means sedan, two-door means coupe while five-doors usually refer to a hatchback, MPV or an SUV.
  
  • Doors: 5

  Smaller cars usually have two rows which can seat five, but some SUVs and MPVs have three rows and can seat around 7-8 passengers.

  Bootspace

  540 litres

  Boot space defines how practical the car is with respect to how much luggage it can carry.

  

  • Bootspace: 540

  A boot with a large and wide opening is ideal for loading heavy items. Additionally, a lower loading height also makes it easy to put in luggage.

  Fuel Tank Capacity

  60 litres

  The official volume of the fuel tank of a car, usually denoted in litres.

  If a car has a large fuel tank, it can cover long distances without refuelling.

  - The ventilated discs are more popular thanks to them providing better stopping power and it also works well in hot conditions.

  Rear Brake Type

  In affordable cars, drums brakes are fitted at the rear as they are cost effective.

  Disc setup at the rear is now getting more popular as cars are getting faster in the real world.

  Minimum Turning Radius

  5.8 metres

  The official kerb-to-kerb minimum radius a car takes to complete a 180-degree turn.

  Shorter the turning radius, the lesser space you need to make a tight turn or to take a U-turn.

  Steering Type

  Power assisted (Electric)

  Almost all steering systems in cars today have an assist to help park them better at low speeds - these can be hydraulic, electro-hydraulic or electric.

  Wheels
