With the introduction of the Super Long Wheelbase model, we are proud to offer our customers a vehicle that not only meets but exceeds their expectations in terms of space, power, and comfort.”

This engine is paired with a 6-speed Automatic transmission with Sequential Shift, emphasising smooth acceleration and superior handling for a van of its size.
