Briefly

The new model, which includes standard all-wheel drive and a nine-speed automatic transmission, has been designed to be more accessible than its hybrid counterpart, although it retains some unique eccentricities typical of the brand.
The new base model comes with a double overhead-cam 2.0 L inline four-cylinder engine producing 268 hp, providing precise handling despite being lighter than the hybrid.
