Under the hood sits a 1.6-liter, four-cylinder engine. Total system output is 139 horsepower and 195 pound-feet of torque when combined with the 43-horsepower electric motor.
That power is channeled through a six-speed, dual-clutch transmission routing power to the front wheels. After a week and 489 miles, I managed 47.8 mpg combined -- short of the EPA's 55 mpg combined estimate.
My midrange SEL tester includes features like pedestrian-detecting collision-mitigation braking, lane-keep assist, adaptive cruise control that works down to 5 mph and blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert.
