Generation photo. Individual trim appearance may differ.
The highest speed a vehicle can sustain under manufacturer test conditions. Some cars are electronically limited below their mechanical potential. Glossary entry
300 km/h
Engine type
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
Turbo
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
RWD
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
98 × 90.5 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
5461 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
7
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
557 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
410 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
10.7
Maximum power rpm
6000 rpm
Maximum torque N⋅m
800 N⋅m
Maximum torque rpm
2000 – 4500 rpm
Acceleration to 100?
The time a vehicle needs to reach 100 km/h from a standstill, a common shorthand for overall performance. Glossary entry
4.2 s
Engine power system
Distributed injection (multi-point)
Number of cylinders
8
Valves per cylinder?
The number of intake and exhaust valves in each cylinder. Four valves per cylinder is common and helps the engine breathe at higher speeds. Glossary entry

Driving range, maximum?
The distance an electric or plug-in vehicle can travel on a full charge under a stated test cycle. Temperature, speed and load change the real result. Glossary entry
Not provided
Driving range, minimum?
The distance an electric or plug-in vehicle can travel on a full charge under a stated test cycle. Temperature, speed and load change the real result. Glossary entry

2390 kg
Curb weight?
The weight of the vehicle with all standard equipment and fluids but without passengers or cargo. Glossary entry
1840 kg
Ground clearance, maximum?
The gap between the lowest point of the underbody and the road. More clearance helps on rough roads and steep driveway ramps. Glossary entry

Engine and Transmission
Much city driving happens below walking pace, in car parks, queues and on ramps. Drivers tend to prioritise fine control at those speeds, because smoothness there is what passengers notice long before anything that happens on an open road.
Drivetrain and Everyday Driving
Journeys across town involve constant small adjustments: demisting a window, turning the radio down, changing a route. Controls learned once and then used without looking keep those adjustments brief, which counts for more on busy streets than on quiet ones.
Body and Practicality
A weekly shop is the sort of load a car carries most often in town. Convenience usually comes down to loading in one go, unloading without rearranging the rest, and, where a car offers it, somewhere to stop smaller items sliding.
