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

202 km/h
Engine type
Gasoline
Transmission
Robotic
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

No
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

74.5 × 76.4 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

999 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

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

110 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

12.5
Maximum power rpm
2000 – 3000 rpm
Maximum torque N⋅m
204 N⋅m
Maximum torque rpm
5500 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

10.2 s
Engine power system
Direct injection (direct)
Number of cylinders
3
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

Comfort and Convenience

One everyday comfort preference is seat position, which differs between people because leg length and arm reach vary. A seating adjustment that suits one driver may feel cramped or stretched for another.

Safety and Driver Assistance

Becoming familiar with basic controls before travel, such as the light switch and wiper stalk, helps reduce distraction. Knowing where each control sits means adjustments can be made quickly and confidently while driving.

Multimedia and Connectivity

An everyday phone need is keeping the battery charged during longer trips. If a charging port is available, connecting a cable allows the phone to stay powered without interrupting navigation or calls.
