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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2011–2012 | Petrol | 2359 cm³ | 125 kW (170 PS) | 1565–1610 kg | 187–210 g/km (NEDC) |
| 2011–2012 | Diesel | 2143 cm³ | 120 kW (163 PS) | 1725 kg | 172 g/km (NEDC) |
| 2010–2011 | Diesel | 1968 cm³ | – | 1685–1760 kg | 175–180 g/km (NEDC) |
| 2010 | Petrol | 2350 cm³ | – | 1565–1600 kg | 206–226 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.

Source: complaints filed by owners with the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) for model years 2007–2017: 3360 complaints, 134 with a crash and 42 with a fire. Complaints are owner reports that NHTSA has not verified, and one complaint can name more than one component. More complaints can also mean more cars sold.
