The highest speed a vehicle can sustain under manufacturer test conditions. Some cars are electronically limited below their mechanical potential. Glossary entry
226 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
No
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
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
1995 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
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
170 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
125 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
12
Maximum power rpm
6700 rpm

Engine and Transmission
On a long drive, most of the time is spent holding a steady cruise rather than accelerating, so drivers tend to care about how settled a car feels when little is being asked of it. Route, gradient and load all shape that impression.
Drivetrain and Everyday Driving
Familiar controls matter because attention on a journey belongs to the road, not to hunting for a switch. Time spent learning where the wipers, lights and climate settings sit before setting off pays back over several hours behind the wheel.
Body and Practicality
Luggage for a multi-day trip usually arrives as several soft bags rather than one neat case. What makes that manageable is loading in an order that keeps whatever is needed at a fuel stop or an overnight halt within easy reach.
