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
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
1995 cm³

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

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
143 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
105 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
With front-wheel drive, a climb shifts weight rearward and asks the driven front axle for more torque at once. The diesel engine meets that by working further into its load range, and the manual gearbox lets the driver choose a lower ratio deliberately.
Drivetrain and Everyday Driving
Front-wheel drive is fixed mechanical architecture: the engine always turns the front wheels. Traction control, by contrast, is software acting after the fact, trimming power or braking a slipping wheel; it never changes which axle the manual gearbox feeds.
Body and Practicality
Exterior dimensions describe the space the Cabrio occupies when parking. Visibility depends instead on glass area and pillar placement, and lowering the roof on a convertible removes the rear screen and blind spots altogether without changing the car's footprint.
