The TGDi petrol engine produces a maximum power of 203PS and 380Nm of torque, while the CRDe diesel engine delivers 185PS and 420Nm (MT)/450Nm (AT) of torque. Both engines are available with 6-speed manual and 6-speed torque convertor automatic gearbox options. The SUV lineup comes with FWD (front-wheel drive) and AWD (all-wheel drive) configurations.

On the other hand, the diesel engine is better suited for highway driving purpose, thanks to its higher more torque. This engine comes with additional features such as diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC), diesel particulate filter (DPF) and selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system. The diesel powertrain also requires diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) top-ups at regular intervals, depending on driving conditions.
