The highest speed a vehicle can sustain under manufacturer test conditions. Some cars are electronically limited below their mechanical potential. Glossary entry
237 km/h
Engine type
Diesel
Transmission
Robotic
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
84 × 90 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
1496 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
7
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
116 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
85 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
16.5
Maximum power rpm
4000 rpm

Engine and Transmission
On a long drive, most of the distance is spent holding a steady cruise rather than accelerating, so drivers tend to value predictable response and relaxed progress. Fuel stops also shape planning, since longer gaps between them mean fewer interruptions.
Drivetrain and Everyday Driving
Controls that become second nature let attention stay on the road, which matters most when conditions change suddenly. Familiarity also reduces the small distractions of hunting for a switch, so adjusting wipers, lights or temperature stays a brief, untroubled action.
Body and Practicality
Packing for several days away usually means a few soft bags rather than one large case, and spreading them out is easier when loading happens in stages. Keeping an overnight bag within reach saves unpacking everything at a stop.
