Molapo Motors launches new Tucson

Molapo Motors Dealer Principal, Mohamed Dada explained that the improved smartstream 2.0-litre turbodiesel engine features a power bump of 7kW/16Nm over its predecessor to produce 137kW of power available at 4,000rpm and 416Nm of torque available at between 2,000rpm and 2,750rpm.

“This is sent to the front wheels via an eight-speed automatic transmission. Claimed fuel consumption is 7.9L/100km on a combined cycle and we managed a number as low as 6.8L/100km on our 232km open road launch drive. The diesel mill’s impressive performance was a timely reminder of why oil-burners done right was such a popular choice,” he said.
