Fuel economy (EPA)

U.S. EPA estimates in miles per gallon as currently published on fueleconomy.gov (older models are shown on the revised 2008 EPA method, so they read lower than the original window sticker). To convert: L/100 km = 235.2 ÷ mpg.

Availability varied by body style, trim and year (U.S. market). Two-tone swatches show the upper color over the lower color.
