Both the 1.5- and 2.0-liter engines come standard with a new stop-start system that helps improve fuel economy by shutting off the engine when the vehicle stops moving. Unlike in some vehicles, the system works seamlessly, so you won't even notice the engine cycling off and on. Both the 1.5- and 2.0-liter engines are available with all-wheel drive.
