NHTSA 5-Star Overall Vehicle Score for Safety
PERFORMANCE
All systems go.
The standard 1.5L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine uses the technologies of Variable Valve Timing and Direct Injection to deliver responsive performance with unexpected efficiency. The 1.5L turbo puts 170 horsepower at your command, along with 203 lb.-ft. of torque. Standard stop/start engine technology automatically shuts down the engine as you come to a stop, under certain driving conditions, and seamlessly restarts the engine when you take your foot off the brake.
1.5L Turbo Engine
ESTIMATED FUEL CONSUMPTION RATING OF 7.7L / 100 KM HWY
With an estimated fuel consumption rating of 7.7L / 100 km highway, the 1.5L turbo engine is a powerfully efficient choice.
Switchable All-Wheel Drive
Standard on Premier and available on LS and LT models, this system enhances traction and control on slippery or snow-covered roads. It allows you to travel in the more fuel-efficient FWD mode until the system prompts you to switch into AWD. Or, if you choose, you can leave switchable AWD on year-round, since the rear wheels only engage when the system senses reduced traction.
