Mileage

A new five-speed automatic transmission is used for the first time. In addition to offering additional driver appeal with a sequential manual gear change, combined fuel economy is also improved as a result; from 21.7mpg to 22.4mpg for the new model. The new gearbox is combined with a new drivetrain in which the torque distribution between the front and rear wheels is electronically controlled by the Traction Control (TRC), rather than the previous mechanical control by a viscous limited-slip differential. The new TRC system provides more precise control, providing smooth traction even when the throttle pedal is used roughly.
