Kantanka Nkunim engine specifications and performance
Speaking about its performance, the company representative explained that the commercial vehicle comes with a 2.0-litre turbocharged engine.

The Kantanka Nkunim, which is diesel-fueled, produces 420 Nm of torque and has a stated top speed of 160 km/h, along with a six-speed manual transmission.
These specifications make the vehicle suitable for commercial transport operators who require enough power to move passengers comfortably within cities and on intercity routes.
