Performance & powertrain

Top speed
?

The highest speed a vehicle can sustain under manufacturer test conditions. Some cars are electronically limited below their mechanical potential. Glossary entry

220 km/h
Engine type
Diesel
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

AWD
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

2987 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

249 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

183 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

15.5
Maximum power rpm
3600 rpm
Maximum torque N⋅m
620 N⋅m
Maximum torque rpm
1600 – 2400 rpm

Comfort and Convenience

Preferred cabin temperature varies widely between people: some feel settled in cool air, others want noticeable warmth. In a car carrying several passengers, agreement usually comes from small compromises rather than one universally correct setting.

Safety and Driver Assistance

Finding the wipers, lights and mirror controls while still parked means less searching later, since an unfamiliar cabin asks for attention that a journey through traffic or changing weather is already claiming.

Multimedia and Connectivity

A phone used for navigation over a long drive drains steadily, so a charging point matters where one is available. Music playback and hands-free calling are separate functions that may be arranged in different ways.
