Performance & powertrain

Top speed
?

The highest speed a vehicle can sustain under manufacturer test conditions. Some cars are electronically limited below their mechanical potential. Glossary entry

222 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

RWD
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

77 × 85.8 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

1598 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

177 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

130 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

10.5
Maximum power rpm
4800 – 6450 rpm
Maximum torque N⋅m
250 N⋅m
Maximum torque rpm
1500 – 4500 rpm

Comfort and Convenience

Seating position is personal: taller occupants often want the seat lower and further back, while shorter drivers prefer to sit high for a clear view over the bonnet. Neither setting suits everyone.

Safety and Driver Assistance

It is worth spending a few minutes stationary locating the hazard lights, demister and headlight settings. Finding them for the first time in heavy rain or unfamiliar traffic is a needless distraction.

Multimedia and Connectivity

Phone battery is the quiet constraint on a long drive, since navigation runs for hours. Where a suitable power outlet or cable is available, keeping the handset topped up removes one worry from the trip.
