It combines the space lacking in most compacts with agility that is lacking in its larger cousins. On the market since 2017, it now faces 2024 with some refreshments and restyling guaranteed to ramp up its long-standing appeal.
Power and Handling
The powertrain for the entry levels is a 246-hp turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine matched perfectly with an eight-speed automatic transmission. All-wheel drive works with the powertrain and the retuned suspension to produce perky acceleration and sporty driving dynamics.
