There are some different options in the engine range : a 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbo, a 3.3-liter GDI V6 and a 2.2-liter CRDI diesel engine for the European market.In fact, the 2.2-liter diesel already exists on the previous version.

Inside, the interior will be completely new and flexible and will be entirely consistent with the sports vision of the vehicle. It will offer more legroom and more headroom, an option with three rows of seats and more luggage space.
