Driveline
Front wheel drive. Transverse engine. Six-speed manual transmission.
It is also available with a five-speed Geartronic automatic allowing
manual shifting. The smooth manual six-speed transmission inspires
an active driving style, while the smooth clutch operation affords
confident take-off. For the best of both worlds, there's the option of
Geartronic —a responsive five-speed automatic for relaxed driving. It
can also be shifted manually so that you can maintain a lower gear to
bring up the revs or provide the added assistance of engine braking.
Chassis
Front suspension with spring struts (McPherson), anti-dive and antilift
function. Multilink independent rear suspension. Anti-roll bars front
and rear. Version 2.0 includes a sport tuned dynamic chassis for spirited
driving. Dynamic Stability system can help counteract a skid. The rigid
body enables the suspension to perform optimally—for well-balanced
handling and a high level of comfort. The front and rear suspensions
also interact to provide stable braking and smooth steering. The DSTC
system assists if either of the drive wheels begins to lose traction, and
adds the benefit of counteracting if a skid is imminent.
Steering
Power-assisted electro-hydraulic rack and pinion steering. Tilt and tel-
escopic steering wheel column. 2.6–2.9 turns lock to lock (depending on
wheel size). Turning circle 38.1 ft, depending on wheel size. Behind the
wheel, you can enjoy responsive yet firm steering at all speeds. High
steering precision and balanced road feedback are easily enjoyed ben-
efits.
Brakes
Power-assisted anti-locking disc brakes (ABS), ventilated discs front.
EBA (Emergency Brake Assistance). EBD (Electronic Brake Distribu-
tion) between the front and rear brakes. Diagonal-split braking system.
Powerful anti-locking disc brakes help ensure a short stopping dis-
tance under all circumstances and withstand tough use without fading.
EBA helps you use your brakes to the full in an emergency situation,
while EBD distributes the braking effect between the front and rear
wheels in order to achieve optimal results according to the car's load
and driving conditions.
