Specifications

For previous generations of cars, two variants of powerplants were envisaged, which were gasoline four-cylinder engines with a volume of 1.6 and 1.8 liters. Their power, respectively, was 130 and 150 horsepower. In the line of power units of the latest version of the model, a 1.6-liter "diesel" was added to the two mentioned engines.

In order to support the idea of fuel economy, a special indicator appears on the car's instrument panel, which lights up red when the fuel is over-consumed, otherwise it burns green.
