No horsepower and torque figures have been released, but expect at least 140 horsepower and well over 200 lb.-ft. of torque. Rival Subaru has publicly announced plans for a boxer diesel that is benchmarking BMW's 2.0L 4-cylinder turbodiesel, which is rated at approximately 160 horsepower and 250 lb.-ft. of torque. Preliminary output figures on Volkswagen's North America-spec 16-valve 2.0L TDI are 140 horsepower and 240 lb.-ft. of torque.
No stranger to diesel engines, Mitsubishi last offered a diesel engine in the U.S. in the 1985 Mighty Max pickup truck.
Diesel Power's Take: The more diesel car options, the better. What's not to like about more than 200 lb.-ft. and more than 40 mpg?
