The lineup includes four 1.5T trims, two 2.0T Plus trims and three Plus C-DM PHEVs. The entry petrol model makes 135 kW and 290 N·m, paired with a seven-speed wet dual-clutch transmission. The 2.0T Plus produces 187 kW and 390 N·m and uses all-wheel drive. The PHEV combines a 1.5T engine with a 26.6-kWh battery, delivering a CLTC-rated 150 km of electric range and a claimed combined range of 1,300 km.
