| Models Car models are the different versions or designs of cars made by a manufacturer, each with unique features, styles, and configurations. | LXS |
| Year typically refers to the model year of a vehicle, which indicates its design and production cycle rather than the actual manufacturing date. | 2026 |
| Combined MPG Combined MPG is the average number of miles a vehicle can travel per gallon of fuel, calculated by blending city and highway driving figures. | 32 MPG |
| 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. | 8 |
| 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. | 40.2 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. | 4,852 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. | 5 yr./ 60,000 mi. |
| Dealerships Car dealerships are businesses that sell new or used vehicles directly to consumers, often providing financing, trade-ins, and maintenance services. |

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. | 34/31 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. | 32 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. | 646.0/589.0 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. | 19.0 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. | 4.5 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). | 1.6 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.). | Hybrid |
| 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. | 242 hp |
| Torque Car torque is a measure of the engine's twisting force, indicating its ability to accelerate the vehicle and overcome resistance. | 271 lb-ft |
| 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 |
Towing & Hauling
| Max Towing Capacity | N/A |
Drivetrain
| Transmission A car transmission is the system that transfers power from the engine to the wheels, using different gear ratios to control speed and torque. | 6-speed automatic |
| 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 |
