PREVIEW

Tribeca Limited Package (5-passenger)

from 215 lb-ft at 4200 rpm to 247 lb-ft @ 4400 rpm. These increases
have given the 2008 Tribeca superior acceleration; from a standing
start, 100 km/h is reached in an estimated 8.5 seconds, compared
to 9.2 seconds for the previous version.
In addition, through the use of advanced engine technologies
such as the Active Valve Control System and Active Valve Lift
System, the new engine is actually more fuel efficient and more
environmentally-friendly than the old one.
While the new engine represents a remarkable step forward,
it’s perhaps matched by the significantly revised 5-speed Electronic
Direct Control Automatic Transmission with SPORTSHIFT™ (5EAT SS).
This transmission delivers quicker shifts, improved performance over
hilly terrain and improved fuel efficiency.
