Generations
1st generation (2000–present)
The T Rex has been in production since 2000 as a five-door SUV, and no successor generation has been introduced. Within this generation the range consists of a single version, the 6.5 AT. There is no restyling recorded within the generation, and no second generation has followed.
Engines and specs
| Version | Engine | Displacement | Cylinders | Layout | Power | Torque | Boost | Gearbox | Drive |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6.5 AT | Diesel | 6489 cc | 8 | V-shaped | 195 hp (143 kW) @ 3400 rpm | 583 Nm @ 1800 rpm | Turbo | Automatic, 4-speed | AWD |
The 6.5 AT is fitted with a turbocharged 6.5-litre V8 diesel with two valves per cylinder and a compression ratio of 20.2:1. Power is sent through a four-speed automatic gearbox to all four wheels.
Performance and economy
The 6.5 AT has a recorded top speed of 134 km/h. Acceleration from 0-100 km/h is not measured. Fuel consumption figures — city, highway, and combined — are not measured, and CO2 emissions and fuel tank capacity are also not measured for this version.
Dimensions and weight
The T Rex 6.5 AT has a kerb weight of 3200 kg. Gross vehicle weight is not measured. Ground clearance is set at 400 mm, a figure consistent with a heavy-duty off-road SUV. Wheel sizing is not measured.
Suspension is independent with springs at both the front and rear axles. Braking is handled by ventilated disc brakes at the front and disc brakes at the rear.
Which version to choose
With only one version offered — the 6.5 AT — there is no comparison to make within the range: it is the sole configuration of the Coggiola T Rex, combining a 195 hp / 583 Nm turbo-diesel V8, four-speed automatic, and all-wheel drive with a substantial 3200 kg kerb weight and a 400 mm ground clearance. Buyers considering the T Rex are choosing this single, purpose-built heavy-duty SUV configuration rather than selecting between trims or engine options, since none of the other typical differentiators — acceleration, consumption, gross weight, or wheel size — are recorded to compare against.
