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
75 × 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
1590 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
116 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
85 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
On longer runs with company, the priority is often the ability to settle into a steady cruising pace and hold it. A journey planned around fewer abrupt corrections tends to feel calmer for everyone, and it also makes conversation easier to sustain.
Drivetrain and Everyday Driving
Familiarity with the controls matters most in the moments when something changes mid-journey: a sudden downpour, a passenger who feels too warm, a turning missed in traffic. Adjustments made quickly and confidently keep small events from becoming distractions.
Body and Practicality
Getting people in and out is its own routine, especially at a kerbside with traffic passing. What helps is an unhurried sequence, with doors opened clear of obstacles and belongings gathered first, so nobody is left standing in an awkward spot.
