The Qualis has a higher torque than Versa? As a characteristic of diesel vehicles , initial torque is high, but it is seen that bhp of the versa is higher than Qualis at 82 bhp. This along with a lower weight of 930kgs ensures that the Power to Weight Ratio of the Versa (88.17) is much higher than that of the Qualis(49.8 ). This ensures that the engine provides great pulling power throughout the rpm range of the engine. The Qualis diesel engine is a very old generation engine and though it has higher torque it does not translate into acceleration or pulling power.
