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
79.5 × 95.5 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
1896 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
105 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
77 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
Predictability in stop-and-go traffic is a key everyday priority. A car that creeps forward gently and responds to small throttle inputs without lurching helps maintain composure on busy school runs and congested commutes.
Drivetrain and Everyday Driving
Controls that fall naturally to hand make frequent short journeys less tiring. When the steering wheel, pedals and minor switches are placed where a driver expects them, adjusting while moving becomes an unconscious action.
Body and Practicality
Rear-seat space for a growing family often matters more than outright luggage volume. Wide-opening doors and a bench that allows easy child-seat access simplify the repeated loading and unloading that fill a normal week.
