Performance & Capability

Fuel efficiency remains a strong suit, delivering an impressive 26 city MPG and 33 hwy MPG. Drivers can tailor throttle response using the SI-DRIVE driver selectable drivetrain mode, while an auto stop-start engine helps optimize efficiency during suburban traffic stops. The platform features an independent front strut suspension and double wishbone rear suspension, providing a composed, comfortable ride over rough pavement. Additional control features like Hill Descent Control and electronic stability control further enhance vehicle stability whenever road surface conditions become unpredictable.
