The standard 1.2-liter engine generates 137 horsepower, while an available 1.3-liter engine produces 155 horsepower and 174 pound-feet of torque for even more get-up-and-go as you merge onto US-63 headed north towards Willow Springs.

Front-wheel drive comes standard for surefooted traction, with an intelligent all-wheel drive system optional to provide extra grip and stability in variable road conditions.

Premium cloth upholstery and leatherette trim deliver an upscale look and feel, with leather-appointed seating available on the range-topping Avenir model. The 40/60 split folding rear seat offers flexibility to accommodate varying combinations of people and cargo – perfect for a camping trip to Noblett Lake in Mark Twain National Forest.
