Gasoline
Transmission
Automatic
Type of boost?
A turbocharger or supercharger compresses the air entering the engine so a smaller engine can produce more power. Naturally aspirated engines draw air without a compressor. Glossary entry
Turbo
Type of drive?
Which wheels receive power: front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. All-wheel drive can send power to every wheel for extra traction. Glossary entry
AWD
Bore and stroke?
The diameter of a cylinder (bore) and the distance the piston travels inside it (stroke). Together they determine the displacement of the engine. Glossary entry
84 × 89.6 mm
Engine capacity?
The total volume swept by all pistons inside the cylinders, usually stated in cubic centimetres or litres. Larger displacement often means more power but higher consumption. Glossary entry
2997 cm³
Engine location
Front, longitudinal
Number of gears?
How many fixed forward ratios a gearbox offers. More gears can improve economy and refinement; continuously variable transmissions have no fixed steps. Glossary entry
6
Maximum power?
A unit of engine or motor output. One metric horsepower is about 0.735 kilowatts. Peak power is normally reached at high engine speed. Glossary entry
400 hp
Maximum power, kw?
A unit of engine or motor output. One metric horsepower is about 0.735 kilowatts. Peak power is normally reached at high engine speed. Glossary entry
294 kW
Compression ratio?
The ratio between the largest and smallest volume of a cylinder as the piston moves. Higher ratios improve efficiency but may require higher-octane fuel. Glossary entry

Engine and Transmission
Smooth progress at low speed is an everyday priority for many owners. Crawling traffic exposes any hesitancy far more clearly than open roads do, so behaviour at walking pace often shapes the impression a car leaves over a week.
Drivetrain and Everyday Driving
Familiar control logic counts for most when conditions are poor: rain, darkness, an awkward junction. Anything that can be worked by memory or by feel saves the seconds of looking away that leave a driver tired rather than relaxed.
Body and Practicality
Loading a weekly shop is the routine that reveals convenience. What generally helps is a load area reachable without stretching over an edge, plus a floor that keeps bags settled instead of letting them roam on the way home.
