Values are the official EPA label figures for each model year, shown as the lowest and highest value for the configuration. Electric models show energy use per 100 km. Real-world consumption depends on driving style, weather and load. Luggage and passenger volumes follow the EPA measuring method and can differ from the VDA figures used in Europe.
EU type-approval data
| Years | Powertrain | Engine | Power | Mass | CO₂ |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2013–2015 | Petrol | 1364 cm³ | 103 kW (140 PS) | 1409–1522 kg | 139–149 g/km (NEDC) |
| 2013–2015 | Diesel | 1686 cm³ | 96 kW (131 PS) | 1504–1575 kg | 120–139 g/km (NEDC) |
| 2013–2014 | Petrol | 1598 cm³ | 85 kW (116 PS) | 1365–1467 kg | 153 g/km (NEDC) |
Years are registration years. Each range runs from the 10th to the 90th percentile of the values reported for new registrations; it is not an average. Mass is the mass in running order. For electric cars the power is the type-approval net power, which can be lower than the peak power in brochures.
