Common options included the 2.9L (OM661, OM662) and 2.3L diesel engines. Some petrol variants may also exist depending on the market. Performance Horsepower Torque: Specific figures vary by engine and market. For example, the 2.9L diesel typically produced around 95-115 HP and 250-280 Nm of torque. Consult the manual for exact specifications for your engine variant. Fuel System Injection Type: Likely direct injection (DI) or indirect injection (IDI) for diesel variants, with mechanical or electronic fuel pumps. Petrol variants would use port fuel injection (MPI). Engine Management ECU Type: Engine Control Unit (ECU) for managing fuel injection, ignition timing, emissions, and other engine parameters. Specific ECU part numbers would be detailed in the manual. Cooling System Coolant Type: Typically ethylene glycol-based antifreeze. Consult the manual for specific SsangYong or Mercedes-Benz approved coolant types and concentrations. Engine Types Diesel Variants: 2.3L OM601, 2.9L OM661, 2.9L OM662 (typically 5-cylinder). Specific output varied. Petrol Variants: Less common, but some markets may have had 2.0L or 2.3L petrol engines (potentially Mercedes-Benz M111 variants). 🔧 Transmission Standard Transmission Type: 5-speed manual transmission was common. Optional Transmission Type: 4-speed automatic transmission (often a Mercedes-Benz sourced unit like the 722.4) was available as an option. Features Drivetrain Options: Part-time 4-wheel drive with manual or automatic hub locking, often featuring a 2-speed transfer case with high and low range gearing. Fluid Specifications Manual Gearbox Oil: API GL-4 or GL-5, with specific viscosity grades (e.g., 75W-90). Consult manual for precise MB specification if applicable. Automatic Transmission Fluid: MB 236.1 or equivalent ATF fluid. Consult manual for precise specification and capacity. 📐 Dimensions Exterior Body Styles: 5-door SUV, 2-door/4-door pickup truck (Musso Sports). Length Width...
