1.8 (122 Hp) Automatic Verdict:
Performance Verdict
The 1.8-liter engine provides adequate power for daily driving and city commutes. While 122 Hp is sufficient, the automatic transmission can sometimes dull responsiveness, making acceleration feel unhurried, especially on highways.
Fuel Economy
Fuel economy for the 1.8L automatic is moderate for a naturally aspirated engine in a crossover. It's not class-leading, but acceptable for its segment, with consumption increasing notably in heavy urban traffic.

- • High ground clearance suitable for rough roads
