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
Diesel
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
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
2993 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
320 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
235 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
16.5
Maximum power rpm
4000 rpm
Maximum torque N⋅m
680 N⋅m
Maximum torque rpm
1750 – 2250 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
5.2 s

Engine and Transmission
Much of a commute happens below walking pace, in queues and at lights, so one frequent priority is how calmly a car is handled through crawling and repeated stops. Those minutes recur far more often than any open stretch of road.
Drivetrain and Everyday Driving
Everyday journeys reward controls that can be worked without deliberate thought, since the same handful of actions is repeated each day. Where a car is shared between two drivers, a clear layout also spares each of them from relearning the basics before setting off.
Body and Practicality
Commutes often include a second person for part of the route. Such trips are generally more convenient when rear access is straightforward and a passenger can get seated without awkward manoeuvring, including in a narrow bay or at a busy kerb.
