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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2011, 2016 | Petrol | 2360 cm³ | 125 kW (170 PS) | 1760–1920 kg | 209–228 g/km (NEDC) |
| 2011–2013 | Diesel | 1968 cm³ | 103 kW (140 PS) | 1905–1975 kg | 165–176 g/km (NEDC) |
| 2010–2011 | Petrol | 2736 cm³ | – | 1875–1975 kg | 246 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.
