Engines: From Diesel to ZERO Emission Hybrid

The compact SUV maintains the entry-level diesel engine: the 1.6 diesel with 130 hp and $320 of torque. This engine is paired with the DCT six-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox. Thus, it accelerates in $10.9$ seconds, reaches $195\text{ km/h}$, and claims a consumption of $5.3$ liters per $100\text{ km}$.

Above the diesel is the mild-hybrid gasoline, called Ibrida, which delivers $175 and $240 Coupled with the DCT seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox, the Ibrida improves acceleration to $8.5$ seconds and reaches up to $212. Its consumption is $5.7$ liters per $100, and it also benefits from the Eco label.

The 1.3 PHEV: Power, CERO Label, and Q4 Traction

The maximum exponent of the range is the plug-in hybrid (PHEV). The 1.3 PHEV develops a combined $270 and features Q4 all-wheel drive. Coupled with a six-speed torque converter automatic transmission, it completes the 0 to 100 km/h sprint in $6.6$ seconds. It sets a top speed of $195\text{ km/h}$.

Thanks to its $15.5 battery, the model is capable of traveling $61 in electric mode. This figure explains an approved consumption of $3$ liters per $100 under the WLTP combined cycle. Furthermore, it sports the CERO sticker on the windshield. The PHEV’s trunk is $385$ liters, which is smaller than the $500$ liters found in the rest of the range.
