The range includes gasoline and hybrid powertrains, automatic and variable transmissions, and both FWD and AWD configurations. Depending on the generation and version, engine displacement ranges from 2163 to 2495 cm³, while output ranges from 140 to 178 hp.
Generations
The 1 generation was produced from March 2000 to August 2001 as a Sedan. It had two versions, both named “2.2 AT”: one with FWD and one with AWD. Both used a 140 hp gasoline engine, a 4-speed Automatic gearbox, and a 2163 cm³ displacement.
The 2 generation ran from September 2001 to June 2004. This Sedan generation had two “2.4 AT” versions, differentiated by drive: FWD and AWD. Both produced 159 hp and used a 4-speed Automatic gearbox. The engine required 92 fuel and had a displacement of 2362 cm³.
The 2 generation, restyling covered July 2004 to December 2005. Its Sedan body was available with two “2.4 AT” versions, again split between FWD and AWD. Both produced 159 hp and 220 Nm, with a 4-speed Automatic transmission and a 2362 cm³ gasoline engine.
The 3 generation was produced from January 2006 to December 2009. It remained a Sedan and offered two “2.4 AT” versions. The FWD and AWD variants both developed 167 hp and 224 Nm from a 2362 cm³ gasoline engine. The AWD version had a 0–100 km/h time of 9.1 seconds, compared with 9.3 seconds for the FWD version.

Performance and economy
Performance data is available for the 2.4 AT versions of the 3 generation and its restyling.
The 3 generation FWD version reaches 100 km/h in 9.3 seconds and has a maximum speed of 200 km/h. Its AWD version is slightly quicker, with a 9.1-second 0–100 km/h time and a maximum speed of 205 km/h.
For the 3 generation, restyling, the FWD version records 9.5 seconds to 100 km/h. The AWD version records 10.6 seconds. Maximum speed for both restyling versions is not measured.
Fuel consumption is recorded only for the 3 generation versions. Both FWD and AWD versions have urban consumption of 13.6, extra-urban consumption of 7.8, and combined consumption of 9.9. Fuel-consumption figures for all other versions are not measured.
The 5 generation “2.5 CVT” has a listed CO₂ figure of 82. CO₂ data for the other versions is not measured. Maximum speed and acceleration figures for the 1, 2, and 4 generations, including their restylings where no value is shown, are not measured.
Dimensions and weight
Ground clearance is 145 mm for the 1 generation and the 5 generation. The 2 generation, its restyling, and the 3 generation versions have 150 mm of clearance. The 3 generation has 160 mm.
Kerb weight varies from 1400 to 1570 kg among the listed versions. The lightest configuration is the 1 generation “2.2 AT” with FWD at 1400 kg. The heaviest is the 5 generation “2.5 CVT” at 1570 kg. The 4 generation and its restyling are listed at 1540 kg.
Gross weight is recorded as 1985 kg for the 3 generation versions and 1815 kg for the 4 generation versions. The 3 generation, restyling has a gross weight of 1775 kg. For the other versions, gross weight is not measured.
Fuel-tank capacity ranges from 50 to 70 litres. The 5 generation uses a 50-litre tank. The 2, 3, and 3 generation, restyling versions use 70 litres, while the 1 generation, 4 generation, and 2 generation, restyling versions use 65, 65, and 70 litres respectively.
Wheel size is not measured for any version in the supplied data.
The suspension layout is consistently Independent, spring at both the front and rear across the listed versions. Braking equipment is generally Ventilated disc at the front and Disc at the rear. The 2 generation, restyling uses Disc brakes at both ends.
Which version to choose
For the highest listed output, the 5 generation “2.5 CVT” is the strongest choice. Its 178 hp exceeds the 160 hp of the 4 generation “2.5 CVT” by 18 hp and the 167 hp of the 3 generation “2.4 AT” by 11 hp. Its torque is 221 Nm, which is 8 Nm higher than the 4 generation hybrid and 3 Nm lower than the 3 generation gasoline version.
The 5 generation also has the lowest listed CO₂ figure, at 82, although comparable CO₂ data for most other versions is not measured. Its 50-litre tank is 15 litres smaller than the 65-litre tanks used by the 1 and 2 generations, and 20 litres smaller than the 70-litre tanks listed for several 2.4 AT versions.
Drivers seeking recorded performance figures can choose the 3 generation “2.4 AT”. The AWD version is 0.2 seconds quicker to 100 km/h than the FWD version and has a maximum speed 5 km/h higher. Both share the same 167 hp, 224 Nm engine and the same fuel-consumption figures.
The 4 generation and 4 generation, restyling “2.5 CVT” versions offer hybrid power with a Variable gearbox and FWD. The restyling increases displacement from 2493 to 2495 cm³, while power, torque, kerb weight, ground clearance, and tank capacity remain 160 hp, 213 Nm, 1540 kg, 150 mm, and 65 litres respectively.
For all-wheel drive, the catalogue includes AWD versions of the 1, 2, 2 generation, restyling, 3, and 3 generation, restyling “2.2 AT” or “2.4 AT” configurations. Their differences should be considered alongside the corresponding FWD versions, especially because AWD kerb weight is sometimes higher: in the 1 generation it is 110 kg higher, and in the 2 generation it is 100 kg higher.
