The highest speed a vehicle can sustain under manufacturer test conditions. Some cars are electronically limited below their mechanical potential. Glossary entry
224 km/h
Engine type
Diesel
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 × 88 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
2926 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
5
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
184 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
135 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
17
Maximum power rpm
4000 rpm
Maximum torque N⋅m
390 N⋅m
Maximum torque rpm
1750 rpm
Acceleration to 100?

Engine and Transmission
On longer runs the everyday concern is steady progress: holding a cruise without constant correction, and dealing with stop-start traffic that asks for repeated effort. Passengers notice consistency far more readily than they notice outright pace.
Drivetrain and Everyday Driving
Cars are often shared between several drivers, so controls that follow common conventions can be learned quickly. Setting mirrors, lights or climate by feel matters most after dark, or in weather that asks for eyes to stay forward.
Body and Practicality
Passengers travel with small items such as phones, bottles and chargers, and appreciate somewhere to put them within reach. When loose belongings have a home, the cabin stays tidy and nobody spends the trip holding things.
