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
No
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
100 × 84 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
3958 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
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
160 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
118 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
In ordinary use, most drivers value knowing roughly what a given pedal or selector input will produce, because pulling out of a junction or joining a faster road is easier when the response is already anticipated rather than discovered.
Drivetrain and Everyday Driving
Everyday journeys involve small adjustments — wipers, lights, demisting, temperature — that arrive without warning. When those actions have become routine, they take a moment of attention rather than a search, which keeps the bulk of concentration on the road ahead.
Body and Practicality
A common errand is loading bags after shopping, often with both hands full. What makes that easy is a loading routine the owner has learned: knowing how the boot is opened and released, so the whole task happens in one unbroken movement.
