Performance & Capability

Paired with a smooth 6-speed automatic transmission with sequential shift control, this Front Wheel Drive hatchback provides refined acceleration and confident road manners. The efficient powertrain delivers an EPA-estimated 25 MPG city and 34 MPG highway, making it an outstanding choice for long highway stretches and city commuting alike. Rides stay balanced and comfortable thanks to an independent strut front suspension with a front anti-roll bar and a semi-independent torsion beam rear suspension supported by gas-pressurized shock absorbers. Standard 4-wheel disc brakes with four-channel ABS, brake assist, electronic stability control, and hill start assist ensure predictable stopping power and traction in diverse driving conditions. Smooth rack-and-pinion electric power-assist steering provides responsive maneuverability in tight parking spots and busy traffic corridors.

Convenient steering wheel mounted audio controls put volume and track selection right at your fingertips, while a USB port and auxiliary input jack ensure easy access for external digital devices.
