3.3 T-GDI V6 (365 Hp) AWD Automatic Verdict:
Performance Verdict
This 3.3-liter twin-turbo V6 delivers robust performance, offering strong acceleration and effortless highway cruising. With 365 Hp and 510 Nm of torque available from low RPMs, it provides ample power for a luxury sedan of its size, paired smoothly with an 8-speed automatic transmission and AWD for confident handling.
Fuel Economy
