Both the four-cylinder and V-6 engines use direct-injection technology. An Eco mode, which is activated by a dashboard button, alters drivetrain calibrations in the four-cylinder to maximize fuel efficiency. Other mechanical features include:

Four-cylinder displaces 2.4 liters and makes 182 horsepower
V-6 displaces 3.0 liters and makes 264 hp
Standard six-speed automatic transmission
Both engines use regular gas
