- Intercooler Efficiency: Dual intercoolers reduce intake temperature by 40°C
- Turbo Response: Minimal lag even at 45°C ambient temperature
- Oil Cooling: Enhanced system maintains optimal turbo bearing temperature

What's the real-world fuel economy for Dubai driving?
Cost Example: A full day of mixed Dubai driving (150km) typically uses 25-30L of 98 Octane fuel (AED 120-150). The 78L tank provides 300-350km range for weekend trips to Abu Dhabi.
