The diesel V6 emitted
a sporty warble under load, but was also free of the sort of harsh, labouring vibration often encountered in diesels at lower revs, whether cruising or slogging uphill in a high gear.
Amazingly smooth, refined and flexible, it feels like an engine with more cylinders and greater capacity, pulling lustily and with a subtly
sporty warble from less than 2000 revs and seldom needing a downshift from sixth on the motorway to pile on speed after being baulked by duelling juggernauts.
