An eight-speed automatic transmission ensures the power is transmitted to the rear wheels. The manufacturer states the consumption of the business limousine at 7,9 liters per 100 kilometers. With a price of 46.150 euros, the new variant is around 1.000 euros cheaper than the previous entry-level model with hybrid drive based on a four-cylinder petrol engine (164 kW / 223 hp).
