The Standard Turbocharged Engine

For those who love the classic feel of a responsive gas engine, the standard powertrain features a 1.5-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine.

• Power: 192 horsepower
• Transmission: Continuously Variable Automatic Transmission (CVT)

The Hybrid Powertrain

Available on Sport, EX-L, and Touring trims, the 2.0-liter 4-cylinder hybrid powertrain is the star of the show. Paired with two electric motors, this system delivers a more powerful, efficient drive.
