Length:
Approximately 4,400 mm (173.2 inches)
Width:
Approximately 1,700 mm (66.9 inches)
Height:
Approximately 1,630 mm (64.2 inches)
Wheelbase:
Approximately 2,735 mm (107.7 inches)
Curb Weight:
Approximately 1,300 - 1,450 kg (2,866 - 3,197 lbs)
Cargo Volume:
Highly configurable due to fold-flat seating, but specific volume varies by configuration. Designed for substantial cargo capacity.
Oil Change Interval:
Every 5,000 - 7,500 miles or 6 months (whichever comes first), refer to manual for precise recommendation based on driving conditions.
Air Filter Replacement:
Every 15,000 - 30,000 miles, or as needed based on inspection.
Spark Plug Replacement:
Every 30,000 - 60,000 miles (depending on plug type: copper vs. platinum), refer to manual.
Timing Belt Replacement:
Critical interval: Typically 60,000 - 90,000 miles or 5-7 years due to the interference engine design. Failure can cause catastrophic engine damage. Manual verification essential.
Engine Oil Type:
API SG or SH, SAE 5W-30 or 10W-30 (refer to manual for climate-specific recommendations).
Coolant Type:
Ethylene Glycol based, 50/50 mix with distilled water. Consult manual for specific coolant type/color (e.g., green).
Brake Fluid Type:
DOT 3 or DOT 4, low-viscosity (check manual).
Common Wear Items:
CV axles, exhaust components, brake wear, suspension bushings, window regulators, radiator and cooling system hoses.
Engine Specific Concerns:
Timing belt integrity is paramount. Oil leaks from valve cover gaskets or oil pan gaskets. Potential for intake manifold gasket leaks.
Transmission Concerns:
Automatic transmissions can develop issues with solenoid operation or valve body wear. Manual clutch wear is expected with mileage.
Electrical Concerns:
Corrosion on electrical connectors, failing power window motors, intermittent issues with the instrument cluster.
Engine Oil Capacity:
Approximately 4.5 Liters (4.8 Quarts) with filter change. Verify in manual.
Coolant Capacity:
Approximately 6.5 Liters (6.9 Quarts). Verify in manual.
