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
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
82.5 × 92.8 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
1984 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
170 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
125 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

Acceleration to 100?
The time a vehicle needs to reach 100 km/h from a standstill, a common shorthand for overall performance. Glossary entry
8.2 s

Engine and Transmission
On a commute, most driving happens at modest speeds with frequent stops, so what drivers tend to value is predictable behaviour when pulling away and joining traffic. Priorities shift with the route: dense town streets ask different things of a car than an open ring road.
Drivetrain and Everyday Driving
Familiar controls fade into the background, which is exactly what a repeated journey needs. Once a driver knows a function by feel and position, adjusting it costs a moment of thought instead of a search, and the routine of the drive stays unbroken.
Body and Practicality
A commute often carries the same load each day: a work bag, a gym kit, shopping picked up on the way home. What makes that easy is having a settled place for it, so loading and unloading happen without rearranging anything else.
