Engine Displacement: 2,596 cc
The Trax Cruiser is powered by the legendary Mercedes-derived FM 2.6 CR CD 4-cylinder, turbocharged diesel engine. This common-rail direct injection (CRDI) unit is engineered for longevity and heavy-load hauling. For 2026, it is fully compliant with BS6 Phase 2.0 norms, making it a reliable workhorse for long-distance ferrying across rural and semi-urban India.
Max Power: 90 hp @ 3,200 rpm
The engine produces a steady 90 hp. While the figure may seem modest for its size, the engine is tuned for high thermal efficiency and sustained performance under maximum occupancy. In the Indian context, this ensures the vehicle can maintain highway speeds of 80-100 km/h even when carrying up to 13 passengers.
Max Torque: 250 Nm @ 1,400–2,400 rpm
A critical specification for a people mover is low-end torque. The Trax Cruiser delivers 250 Nm starting from just 1,400 rpm. This early peak allows the driver to pull away from a standstill with a full load without needing to excessively slip the clutch, which is vital for the hilly terrains of North and Northeast India.
