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
Not provided
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
Not provided
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
582 cm³

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
4
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
19 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
14 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
Commuting rarely rewards outright pace. The repeated demands are more modest, namely pulling away from junctions, holding a steady speed between them and slowing again, which is why many drivers judge a car mainly on how predictable it feels at low speed.
Drivetrain and Everyday Driving
Familiar controls matter because attention is limited. When indicators, mirrors and ventilation settings can be reached by habit, the journey is spent watching the road rather than the dashboard, and returning to the car after a few days away feels less like relearning it.
Body and Practicality
A regular commute usually carries the same handful of things: a bag, a coat, occasionally something for lunch. What makes that convenient is somewhere to set them down where they stay put on the move and can be lifted out in one movement at the other end.
