Performance Specs: Two-Motor Hybrid Powertrain

This combination makes for confident acceleration, seamless power delivery, and a drive that feels far more engaging than many hybrid rivals.

The power is sent to the front wheels via a continuously variable transmission (CVT) with paddle shifters. The Sport Hybrid includes three selectable drive modes (Econ, Normal, Sport), while the Sport Touring Hybrid adds a fourth (Individual) for greater personalization. Deceleration selectors are standard on both trims, giving you control over regenerative braking feel during stop-and-go traffic or downhill stretches.
