It offered a range of inline-5 gasoline engines, from 2.0L to 2.5L, including naturally aspirated and turbocharged variants, paired with either a 5-speed manual or a 4-speed automatic transmission. Notable innovations included the Side Impact Protection System (SIPS) and Delta-link rear suspension, contributing to its strong reputation for safety and comfort in the compact executive segment.
