Regular variants pack the same 1.5L i-VTEC petrol motor that produces 120 PS (118.3 bhp) and 145 Nm of torque, paired with an Earthdreams CVT as standard across the range. The i-DCD Hybrid variant combines a 1.5-litre i-VTEC Atkinson cycle engine producing 110 PS and 134 Nm of torque with a 7-speed dual clutch transmission that has an electric motor delivering 29.5 PS and 160 Nm of torque.
