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

250 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

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 x 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

245 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

180 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
4500-6500 rpm
Maximum torque N⋅m
400 N⋅m
Maximum torque rpm
1600-4000 rpm

Comfort and Convenience

Cabin temperature is a common point of disagreement: the same setting can feel pleasant to the driver and chilly to a passenger. Agreeing on a compromise early avoids repeated adjustments throughout the journey.

Safety and Driver Assistance

Locating wipers, lights, mirrors and hazard switches while parked means fewer moments spent searching once moving. A short look around the cabin before setting off is especially worthwhile in an unfamiliar car.

Multimedia and Connectivity

Keeping a phone charged matters most on longer trips, when navigation runs continuously. If a suitable socket or charging point is available, a cable that reaches the passenger side is worth carrying.
