Engine & Transmission
Top Speed
250 Kmph
Acceleration (0-100 kmph)
4.5 seconds
Time the car takes to reach 100kmph from a standstill
Engine
2998 cc, 6 Cylinders Inline, 4 Valves/Cylinder, DOHC
Timely services will keep a motor efficient and in top shape.
Engine Type
B58 Turbocharged I6
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
Petrol
All cars in India either run on petrol, diesel, CNG, LPG or electric power.
Max Power (bhp@rpm)
335 bhp @ 5000-6500 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)
500 Nm @ 1600-4500 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)
12.09 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
629 Km
Approximate maximum number of kilometers which can be traveled on a full tank of fuel or fully charged battery
Drivetrain
RWD
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 & Paddle Shift, Sport Mode
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
BS6 Phase 2
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.
Others
Regenerative Braking, Idle Start/Stop
Dimensions & Weight
Length
4324 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: 4324
Longer length results in more cabin space. It also adds to straight line stability.
Width
1864 mm
A car's width is defined as its widest point without its mirrors.
- Width: 1864
Although more width gives you more lateral space inside the cabin, it makes the car more difficult to park in narrow spots.
Height
1304 mm
The height of the car denotes the highest point of the vehicle from the ground.
- Height: 1304
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
2470 mm
The space between the center of the front and rear wheels.
- Wheelbase: 2470
The longer the wheelbase, the more space there is inside the cabin.
Ground Clearance
114 mm
It’s the space between the lowest point of the car and the ground.
- Ground Clearance: 114
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.
Kerb Weight
1610 kg
The total weight of the vehicle with all the standard equipment and all the required fluids.
A lightweight car will always be more efficient and easier to manoeuvre whereas a heavy car would give you a sense of solidity while driving.
Capacity
Doors
2 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: 2
Seating Capacity
2 Person
The number of people that can be seated comfortably in the car, which has also been mandated by the car manufacturer.
No of Rows
1 Rows
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
281 litres
Boot space defines how practical the car is with respect to how much luggage it can carry.
- Bootspace: 281
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
52 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.

Front Suspension
Double-joint Spring-strut Axle
Almost all cars in India use an independent front suspension which is usually the MacPherson Strut type.

Most of the budget cars have non-independent suspension while the more expensive ones get independent rear suspension which offers better bump absorption.
Front Brake Type

Most of the vehicles sold in India get ventilated or non-ventilated disc brakes upfront.
- The ventilated discs are more popular thanks to them providing better stopping power and it also works well in hot conditions.
Rear Brake Type
Ventilated Disc
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
5.5 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.
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
Alloy Wheels
The wheels used on cars are either steel rims with plastic wheel cover hub or alloy wheels on higher spec models or expensive cars.
Razor cut, or diamond cut alloy wheel design are not getting more popular. Manufacturers usually offer these in top-end trim of their car models.
