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 × 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
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
190 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
140 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

Engine and Transmission
Diesel combustion relies on compression rather than a spark, so the injectors spray fuel into already hot, highly compressed air. The automatic transmission then routes that torque through a torque converter and gearsets before the all-wheel-drive hardware divides it between the axles.
Drivetrain and Everyday Driving
An all-wheel-drive layout spreads the pulling effort over four contact patches, which mainly helps a car move off and climb on loose or wet surfaces. It does not extend braking grip or cornering limits, both of which still depend on the tyres fitted.
Body and Practicality
A liftback keeps a saloon-like profile but hinges the rear window with the bootlid, so the whole panel swings up and opens the load area from roof height. The boot still sits behind the seats, usually separated by a parcel shelf rather than a fixed bulkhead.
