Holden has introduced a new 1.6-litre turbo-diesel engine to the Equinox SUV range, one that’s rated with fuel consumption from just 5.6 litres per hundred kilometres.
The third engine in the Equinox range, the 1.6-litre turbo-diesel engine has power and torque of 100 kW and 320 Nm respectively. It’s mated to a six-speed automatic and available in front-wheel-drive or all-wheel drive.
The diesel joins the 1.5-litre and 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engines that have been offered since Holden Equinox was launched in November 2017.
Diesel Equinox is on sale now and comes with a seven-year unlimited distance warranty, plus seven years roadside assist. However the warranty only applies until June 2018.
