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
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
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
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
Not provided
Engine location
Not provided
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
1
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
136 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
100 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
Holding a steady pace asks the electric motor only to offset rolling and air resistance, so current draw stays low. Accelerating raises torque demand sharply, and because the automatic single-speed drive needs no gear change, the response arrives without a shift pause.
Drivetrain and Everyday Driving
With front-wheel drive, the same two tyres handle steering, acceleration and most braking at once. Worn or underinflated fronts must therefore share a limited contact patch between those jobs, which shows up as vague turn-in or wheelspin even at modest speeds.
Body and Practicality
On a five-door SUV body, the tailgate aperture sets what will pass through, while the load floor's depth decides what you can reach. A long bay may swallow an item easily yet leave small bags stranded beyond arm's length against the seatbacks.
