The 1.5 diesel is among the most
fuel - efficient motors
around and with a CVT, the compact sedan will be more convenient to drive
around and is likely to dish out a good
fuel -
efficiency number as well.
Advanced technologies, including high - speed combustion, multi-hole direct
fuel injectors, a continuously variable capacity oil pump, a variable cooling system and VVT - iE intelligent variable valve - timing on the intake side give the engine maximum thermal
efficiency of
around 40 percent — an exceptional
number for a passenger vehicle engine.
