The highest speed a vehicle can sustain under manufacturer test conditions. Some cars are electronically limited below their mechanical potential. Glossary entry
237 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
2967 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
240 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
176 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
Not provided

Engine and Transmission
On a long journey, having predictable acceleration from lower speeds helps when joining faster roads or keeping pace with traffic. The general priority is not peak output but the sense that the car responds without demanding extra planning from the driver.
Drivetrain and Everyday Driving
Familiar switchgear reduces the time a driver spends looking away from the road, especially at night or in heavy rain. When controls follow common patterns, common actions such as adjusting cabin temperature become quick and nearly automatic.
Body and Practicality
For a passenger, easy entry and exit turns a fuel stop or a sightseeing break into a short pause rather than a small effort. A wide door opening and predictable seat height make that routine less tiring over a full day of travel.
