Two engine options are available: a 1.8L turbocharged I4 engine producing 170 horsepower and a 2.0L turbodiesel I4 engine generating 150 horsepower. A 5-speed manual and 6-speed automatic transmission options are available paired with front-wheel drive. This compact wagon is available in two trims: S and SE, the latter offering luxury touches like a panoramic sunroof and automatic headlights. The Car-Net infotainment system features a 6.5" touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. A rearview camera, stability control, and a host of airbags contribute to safety, with advanced features like adaptive cruise control and forward-collision warning available on higher trims.
