The highest speed a vehicle can sustain under manufacturer test conditions. Some cars are electronically limited below their mechanical potential. Glossary entry
250 km/h
Engine type
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
84.5 × 89 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
3993 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
8
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
605 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
445 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
9.3
Maximum power rpm
6100 – 6800 rpm
Maximum torque N⋅m
700 N⋅m
Maximum torque rpm
1750 – 6000 rpm
Acceleration to 100?
The time a vehicle needs to reach 100 km/h from a standstill, a common shorthand for overall performance. Glossary entry
3.7 s

Direct injection (direct)
Number of cylinders
8
Valves per cylinder?
The number of intake and exhaust valves in each cylinder. Four valves per cylinder is common and helps the engine breathe at higher speeds. Glossary entry

Engine and Transmission
On a commute, most driving happens at moderate speeds in traffic, where the priority is simply predictable, unhurried progress between stops. Drivers usually settle into a narrow band of throttle and speed, and rarely explore what a car can do beyond it.
Drivetrain and Everyday Driving
Repetition makes controls feel invisible: after a few weeks the hand reaches for a familiar switch without thought. That matters on a commute because attention stays on the road rather than on remembering where a function lives.
Body and Practicality
A commuting car is loaded and unloaded constantly, with a work bag in the morning and shopping on the way home. What generally helps is a loading lip low enough that items can be slid in rather than lifted over, since it happens twice a day.
