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
FWD
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
71.9 × 76.5 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
1242 cm³
Engine location
Front, transverse
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
5
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
82 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
60 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 everyday driving, the priority is often smooth progress through traffic without needing constant gear changes or high engine effort. A smaller engine can suit this if it is used in a relaxed way, though it may require more planning when merging or climbing hills.
Drivetrain and Everyday Driving
Familiar controls reduce distraction and make short trips less tiring, especially when adjusting settings while on the move. Simple, intuitively placed switches and clear instruments help a driver stay focused on the road rather than searching for functions.
Body and Practicality
For daily errands, a boot that can hold a few shopping bags or a small pushchair without needing to fold seats is often enough. Wide door openings and a modest sill height also make it easier to lift items in and out during repeated stops.
