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
80 × 87 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
1749 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
150 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
110 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
In a manual gearbox, neutral engages no gear pair at all, so the output shaft is disconnected from the engine even with the clutch pedal released. That lets the engine idle while the car stands still, or coast freely without driving the wheels.
Drivetrain and Everyday Driving
Front-wheel drive is a fixed mechanical layout: the same shafts feed the same wheels on gravel as on dry tarmac. What changes is the grip the surface offers, so the driver adapts gear choice and throttle rather than the drivetrain adapting itself.
Body and Practicality
An estate body has a long, squared rear overhang that does not shrink when space is tight. When parking, the tailgate also needs clearance to swing upward and rearward, so a gap that fits the car may still not allow loading.
