DMAX V6 engine

The DMAX V6 is a 3.0 litre, 2,958 cc turbocharged diesel V6 designed and built by Isuzu in Fujisawa, Japan, whose design rights are now owned by General Motors. It uses high pressure common rail direct injection, four valves per cylinder, a variable geometry turbocharger and an intercooler, and its internal Isuzu name is 6DE1. Output is nominally 125 kilowatts. In Europe it was used by the General Motors subsidiaries Opel and Saab, in the Saab 9-5 and the Opel and Vauxhall Vectra and Signum, and Renault fitted it to the Vel Satis and the Espace.
