The Pickup's newly available KA24DE twin cam gasoline engine 160 HP/ 5,600 rpm (SAE) with electronic fuel injection provides powerful yet economical performance.

What's more the fuel tank capacity has been increased from 60L to 75L (for all models except the Single Cab Regular Bed), allowing increased cruising range.

The new VQ's ultra-smooth response was achieved by minimizing engine weight and friction loss. A durable aluminum-alloy engine block contributes to weight reduction, while micro finishing of the crankshaft and camshaft help cut friction loss.

Thanks to an improved engine-mounting system and more rigid body, the pitch of the new VQ as heard from the cabin is conductive to quiet conversation.
