Road Tests & Reviews: Scania G-Series


Scania's taken the EGR route with its P/R-Series 9- and 11.7-litre engines for fleet operators.

There's a broad range of engines, cabs and gearboxes and the P-cab is still in demand - but the R-Series takes control here. The intermediate G-cab and P-cab Highline take Scania's modular approach a few steps further.

The specs listed are the likely options available, but in theory you can have a Topline or highline cab on a nine-litre engine. In general, the 420hp R-Series is the big seller, and its torque makes it a viable contender - as does the Scania name itself.

Pros:

  • Drivelines and Transmissions
  • Brand
  • Residuals

Cons:

  • Too many options
