The powertrain produces maximum torque of 400 Nm from 1,800 rpm and meets Euro 5 emission standards. The five-seat pickup also features an 80-liter fuel tank, positioning the diesel model as an additional powertrain choice within the HUNTER PLUS range for the Russian market.

Powertrain and Market Position

The diesel HUNTER PLUS combines a 2.5-liter Isuzu turbodiesel engine with an eight-speed ZF hydromechanical automatic transmission, delivering 400 Nm of maximum torque at 1,800 rpm. The Euro 5-compliant powertrain adds a diesel option to the HUNTER PLUS lineup while retaining a five-person seating configuration and an 80-liter fuel tank. With its dimensions, substantial fuel capacity, automatic transmission, and technology package, the variant broadens Russia-market choice for customers seeking a diesel-powered pickup. The new model therefore strengthens the HUNTER PLUS offering without changing the core pickup configuration described for the lineup.
