The 255-hp 2.0L inline-4 turbo engine combines numerous advances to deliver more power from less fuel. Its rapid-multispark ignition and high-pressure Direct Injection can fine-tune themselves every few milliseconds to optimize performance, efficiency and emissions. An intercooled twin-scroll turbocharger and CAMTRONIC variable valve lift help deliver all of the engine’s 273 lb-ft of torque from just 1,800 rpm, for vigorous response when taking off, merging or passing.
A multimode drive program selector on the console lets you transform the car’s character with the flip of a switch. Four modes (ECO, Comfort, Sport and Sport+) alter the throttle response, shift points, steering effort, and ECO Start/Stop system. A fifth “Individual” mode allows you to create a mode of your own, even letting you set the transmission for purely manual shifting.
