Both of these figures are on point for the segment. In the Taigun top model, this engine is only available with a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, but in the lower GT variant, it gets a 6-speed manual transmission. Among its powerful peers, the Taigun 1.5L turbo petrol engine is the most fuel-efficient with the manual as well as the automatic.
