Gasoline
Transmission
Manual
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
FWD
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
Not provided
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
1395 cm³
Engine location
Front, transverse
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
125 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
92 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
Not provided
Maximum power rpm

Comfort and Convenience
Cabin temperature is the classic disagreement: what suits the driver can feel stuffy or chilly to someone sitting still further back. Preferences shift with clothing, how long each person has been aboard, and plain habit.
Safety and Driver Assistance
A minute spent while stationary locating the hazard lights, the demister and the mirror adjustment leaves less to work out mid-journey. That preparation is worth more when passengers are talking or the route is unfamiliar.
Multimedia and Connectivity
Battery level is the usual passenger worry on a long trip, since mapping apps drain a phone steadily. If power is available at a seat, that concern quietly disappears; charging remains separate from handling calls or choosing music.
