The Holden Equinox is now available with a 1.6-litre
four-cylinder turbo-diesel making 136 Hp and 320 Nm of torque, and is available
in either front-wheel or all-wheel drive and adds about AUD 3k to the price on the
equivalent petrol variant. Fuel consumption is a claimed combined 5.6L/100km.
This is the third engine in the line-up.
“The new 1.6-litre turbo diesel engine boasts
leading efficiency while remaining so smooth and refined, you forget you’re
driving a diesel,” said Holden’s Executive Director – Marketing, Kristian
Aquilina.
“The turbo diesel joins the 1.5-litre and 2.0-litre
turbo petrol engines currently sold in the range, meaning we’ve got an Equinox
to suit every taste, and with our extended seven-year warranty [only available
until June], now is a great time to buy.”
