Drive Type A car's drive type refers to which wheels receive power from the engine. For example, front-wheel drive (FWD) powers the front wheels, rear-wheel drive (RWD) powers the rear, and all-wheel drive (AWD) or four-wheel drive (4WD) power all four wheels.	front wheel drive
Total Seating Car total seating refers to the maximum number of passengers a car can accommodate, including the driver.	5
Bed length	181.0 in.
Cargo Capacity Car cargo capacity is the measurement of the space available in a vehicle for storing items, typically given in cubic feet or liters.	29.8 cu.ft.
Curb Weight Car curb weight is the weight of a vehicle with all standard equipment, fluids, and a full tank of fuel, but without passengers or cargo.	3,446 lbs.
Basic Warranty A Basic Warranty is a manufacturer’s promise to repair or replace parts of a product if they prove defective within a specified period.	3 yr./ 36,000 mi.

Fuel & MPG / Battery & Range

Fuel type Fuel type refers to the kind of energy source used to power an engine or appliance, such as gasoline, diesel, electricity, or alternative fuels.	Regular unleaded
EPA city/highway MPG EPA city/highway MPG refers to the estimated miles per gallon a car gets in city driving and on highways, as measured by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.	26/28 MPG
EPA combined MPG EPA combined MPG stands for Environmental Protection Agency Combined Miles per Gallon. It estimates a vehicle’s fuel efficiency by averaging its performance in both city and highway driving conditions.	27 MPG
Range in miles (city/hwy) Car range refers to the distance a vehicle can travel on a full tank of fuel (or a full battery charge) and is usually measured separately for city driving—which often gives a lower range due to stop-and-go traffic—and highway driving, where steady speeds generally result in a higher range.	384.8/414.4 mi.
Fuel tank capacity A car's fuel tank capacity is the maximum amount of fuel it can hold, usually measured in liters or gallons.	14.8 gal.
CO2 Emissions Car CO₂ emissions refer to the amount of carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere by a vehicle’s engine as it burns fuel.	5.5 tons

Engine

Base engine size The car’s base engine size usually refers to its engine displacement, which is the total volume of all the cylinders (measured in liters or cubic centimeters).	1.5 L
Cylinders Car cylinders are the chambers in an engine where the combustion of fuel occurs, driving pistons to create mechanical power.	Inline 4
Base engine type A car’s base engine type refers to its fundamental design—typically the configuration (like inline, V-type, or boxer) and the fuel it uses (gasoline, diesel, etc.).	Gas
Horsepower Car horsepower is a unit of power that measures how much work an engine can perform, with one horsepower roughly equal to 746 watts.	175 hp @ 5,600 rpm
Torque Car torque is a measure of the engine's twisting force, indicating its ability to accelerate the vehicle and overcome resistance.	184 lb-ft @ 1,750 rpm
Valves Car valves are engine components that control the intake of air and fuel and the exhaust of combustion gases.	16
Cam type generally refers to the configuration of an engine’s camshaft(s). For example, engines can have a single overhead cam (SOHC) or dual overhead cam (DOHC) layout, each affecting valve timing and engine performance differently.	Double overhead cam (DOHC)
Valve timing Valve timing is the process of precisely controlling when the engine's intake and exhaust valves open and close to optimize performance and efficiency.	Variable
Direct injection Direct injection is a fuel system that injects fuel directly into the engine’s combustion chamber, which improves efficiency, power, and fuel economy.	Standard
