The figures below describe the C9 2.0 TGDI Inspire 2WD 8AT. Other derivatives in this range differ.

Performance & Dimensions

Cylinders	4 · ZA-market source note Four cylinders; the manufacturer does not print a cylinder-count row for South Africa.
Power	192 kW note At 5 500 r/min.
Torque	400 Nm note 400 Nm from 1 750-4 000 r/min.
Transmission	8-speed automatic note A conventional torque-converter automatic, not a dual-clutch.

Drivetrain	FWD note The manufacturer describes the Inspire only as two-wheel drive; on this transverse front-engine platform that means front-wheel drive. The Explore is all-wheel drive.
Consumption cycle	Combined cycle (test standard not stated by manufacturer) note The brochure states a combined figure without naming a test cycle. (The related C7 sheet quotes NEDC, but the C9 documents do not say.)

Fuel tank	65 L note Omoda South Africa.

Width	1 920 mm note Excluding mirrors.
Height	1 671 mm note Omoda South Africa.
