I guess it's main focus is urban driving, but it most major cities you still need to be able to cruise nicely on 110 with a full load.
Having 350Nm at 2000rpm is pretty good, it won't need too hunt the gears; it's not a Holden.

It has more power, more torque, at 2000rpm - which is the cruising rpm - than the SISI 3.6, and even more than the I-can-do-Sydney-to-Melbourne-in-one-tank SISI(er) 3.0.
