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

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2014–2019 | Petrol | 3696 cm³ | 235 kW (320 PS) | 2012–2032 kg | 293 g/km (NEDC) |
| 2014–2018 | Petrol | 5026 cm³ | 287 kW (390 PS) | 2120 kg | 307–316 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.
