1 2.4L 4-cylinder: EPA-estimated 22 MPG city/32 highway (FWD); 20 city/29 highway (AWD).

2 3.0L V6: EPA-estimated 17 MPG city/24 highway (FWD); 16 city/23 highway (AWD).

“The other thing Eco mode does is lock the torque converter

clutch as often as possible. The more often the clutch is locked,

drivetrain efficiency is increased, optimizing fuel economy.

Eco mode also lets us run more aggressive decel fuel cutoff.

Again, more automotive technical terminology, but what that

means is, when the driver decelerates, we’re able to turn the fuel

off more frequently. The driver doesn’t need it, so that’s another

technique we use that really helps. A lot of these technologies

aren’t new, but in the past they’ve created what we call ‘body

boom,’ an unpleasant low-frequency rumble. That’s why we’ve

introduced

ACTIVE NOISE CANCELLATION on 4-cylinder models.

By using the subwoofers to broadcast pressure waves with the

opposite phase of unwanted sounds, we’re able to cancel out noises

like boom. It’s really an enabler to allow many of these fuel-saving

technologies to be used without unpleasant side effects.”

Anderson notes that, for the more performance-minded

customer, a 3.0L V6 is also available. “The V6 has two more

cylinders and, by virtue of that extra displacement, it delivers more

power and acceleration, more refinement, and increased towing

capabilities. The increased performance comes in the form of

better launch and better passing, and the refinement comes in the

form of tonal quality. It also has a lot of the same technologies as

the 4-cylinder, like variable valve timing and direct injection, to

optimize fuel efficiency.

The 4-cylinder really gets you moving

efficiently, but the V6 is more performance-focused, for someone

who really wants more acceleration sooner.”
