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
81 × 93.2 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
2401 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
5
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
180 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
132 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
A short three-door hatchback still has to lift its whole mass up an incline, and that gravitational component adds directly to rolling and air resistance. The diesel engine meets it with more torque, and the automatic holds a lower gear until the road levels.
Drivetrain and Everyday Driving
Traction is set at the contact patch, not in the layout: a cold, greasy or patchy surface lowers the friction available before the front tyres slip. Front-wheel drive keeps sending torque forward regardless, so only the grip figure moves.
Body and Practicality
Rear overhang is measured from the rear axle to the bumper and includes crash structure, bumper beam and the sloping tailgate glass. Usable compartment depth starts behind the seat backrests, so the two distances rarely match.
