The vehicle is driven by a four-cylinder engine of 1,968 cc displacement producing 130 kW. Power runs through an eight-speed gearbox. At a length of 6,836 mm and a width of 2,040 mm, kerb weight is 2,471 kg.
At a gross vehicle weight of 3,880 kg the vehicle falls into EU class N2 between 3.5 and 12 t, just above the limit up to which a category B licence still applies in Europe. Kerb weight and gross weight differ by 1,409 kg of payload margin. At 130 kW from just under 2 litres with an eight-speed gearbox, the four-cylinder engine reaches high specific output for this weight class, of the kind modern turbocharged four-cylinder engines commonly offer today in light commercial vehicles.
Buying such a powerful light vehicle second-hand, it pays to check the turbocharger and intercooler, since both are stressed more heavily at high specific output than in less powerful variants. The eight-speed gearbox calls for a check of clean shifting without jerking, and given the 2020 build year, the exhaust after-treatment system and its sensors are also worth a look.
