SsangYong’s D20DTR and D22DTR are two popular 4-cylinder turbo-diesel engines, widely used in the brand’s SUVs, MPVs, and pickups. Built with robust engineering and Common Rail direct injection, they balance power, torque, and fuel efficiency for both daily and heavy-duty use.
The D20DTR (2.0L XDi) is a compact diesel engine with 1998cc displacement, DOHC 16-valve design, and a compression ratio of 16.5:1. It delivers 155 PS (114 kW) at 3,400–4,000 rpm and 360 Nm from 1,500–2,800 rpm, ideal for mid-size models like Rexton, Rodius (Stavic), and Actyon Sports. Produced from 2012 to 2016, it’s known for low-end torque and good NVH refinement.
The D22DTR (2.2L XDi), launched in 2015, upgrades to 2157cc and offers higher output: 178–181 PS and 400–420 Nm. It powers the second-gen Rodius, Rexton, and Rexton Sports, with a cast-iron block for durability under heavy loads. Both engines use turbocharging and modern injection, making them dependable choices for global markets.
