Torque has seen a 10 Nm increase as well, now making 360 Nm at 2,000 - 2,500 rpm. The Hi-Lander is available only with a six-speed manual, the V-cross in both manual or automatic form and the MU-X is only available as an automatic. The 1.9-litre engine has seen the addition of the full array of exhaust after-treatment systems like a lean-NOx trap, exhaust gas recirculation, diesel particulate filter and selective catalytic reduction.
