7 generation · Sedan
Generation photo. Individual trim appearance may differ.
The highest speed a vehicle can sustain under manufacturer test conditions. Some cars are electronically limited below their mechanical potential. Glossary entry
230 km/h
Engine type
Plug-in
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
82 × 94.6 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
1998 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
292 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
214 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
10.2
Maximum power rpm
5000 – 6500 rpm
Maximum torque N⋅m
306 N⋅m
Maximum torque rpm
1350 – 4000 rpm
Acceleration to 100?
The time a vehicle needs to reach 100 km/h from a standstill, a common shorthand for overall performance. Glossary entry
5.9 s
Engine power system
Direct injection (direct)
Number of cylinders
4
Valves per cylinder?
The number of intake and exhaust valves in each cylinder. Four valves per cylinder is common and helps the engine breathe at higher speeds. Glossary entry
4

Mild Hybrid?
A car with a small electric motor and battery that assist the combustion engine and recover braking energy but cannot drive on electricity alone. Glossary entry
Not provided
Battery type
Lithium-ion batterie
CO2 emissions?
The amount of carbon dioxide released per kilometre under a standardised test. Lower figures usually go hand in hand with lower fuel consumption. Glossary entry
143 g/km

Driving range, maximum?
The distance an electric or plug-in vehicle can travel on a full charge under a stated test cycle. Temperature, speed and load change the real result. Glossary entry
56 km
Driving range, minimum?
The distance an electric or plug-in vehicle can travel on a full charge under a stated test cycle. Temperature, speed and load change the real result. Glossary entry

Engine and Transmission
Drivers value different things at different moments: predictable pull-away at junctions matters in town, while steady, unhurried cruising matters on longer runs. Which of those priorities dominates depends mainly on the roads someone uses most often.
Drivetrain and Everyday Driving
Familiar controls matter because attention on the move is limited. When a driver already knows roughly where a stalk or switch sits, changing something mid-journey takes a moment rather than a search through unfamiliar menus.
Body and Practicality
One ordinary need is carrying a pushchair or the weekly shopping alongside passengers. Loads like these are simpler to handle when items go in through a single opening, so nobody has to shuffle seats and belongings first.
