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

215 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

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

94.6 × 82 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

1499 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

140 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

102 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

11
Maximum power rpm
4600 – 6500 rpm
Maximum torque N⋅m
220 N⋅m
Maximum torque rpm
1480 – 4200 rpm

Comfort and Convenience

Comfort preferences rarely match exactly. Height, build and posture all change what feels right, so one person's ideal seating position or cabin temperature can be the wrong choice for whoever is sitting alongside.

Safety and Driver Assistance

Finding the essential controls before setting off is simple preparation. Lights, wipers, demisting and hazard warning are easier to reach for calmly once they have been located in a stationary car rather than mid-journey.

Multimedia and Connectivity

Phone batteries drain over a long trip, so a charging point is worth locating if one is provided. Hands-free calling is a separate matter, and listening depends on whichever audio sources the car supports.
