The Kia Sportage 2.0 AT, from the fourth generation, is a petrol-powered compact SUV. One detail worth understanding is what the neutral position of its automatic transmission actually does.

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
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
1999 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
6
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
155 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
114 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

Acceleration to 100?
The time a vehicle needs to reach 100 km/h from a standstill, a common shorthand for overall performance. Glossary entry

Engine and Transmission
Neutral disconnects the gearbox output from the driven wheels while the gasoline engine keeps idling, so the engine can run without transmitting torque. That matters when a vehicle must be pushed or rolled a short distance under supervision.
Drivetrain and Everyday Driving
With front-wheel drive, the same tyres handle steering and put power down, so worn or badly inflated front tyres blunt both jobs at once. At modest speeds an automatic can apply torque smoothly enough that slip goes unnoticed until grip is needed.
Body and Practicality
On a five-door SUV, door access is about the size and shape of the opening and how easily someone can step through it. Seating space is measured once seated, in legroom and headroom, and a wide door does not guarantee either.
