I had a brief 15km drive only. So can't comment much. Based on my observation, the Driving Experience: Ride and NVH improved thanks to better sound insulation. Acceleration or Pick-up improved thanks to 15% more torque from 2000rpm to 2800rpm. Build in G-force. 0-100km/h in 10.5 seconds only. Fuel consumption 10.5km/l average. OR 780km per 75 liters Diesel fuel based on my Customer's feedback.

Current inventory level: 1 month to 2 month waiting list due to back log. Please call me: Jefferson Lim at 012-6852-718 Or direct: https://bit.ly/2EPyIsWC
