A four-speed automatic transmission comes with the I-4 engine and a five-speed automatic comes with the V-6s. New this year, all the transmissions come with manual-shift mode. Available trims are: DE, ES, and Ralliart. The standard safety features include a tire pressure monitoring system and front-, side-, and side-curtain airbags totaling six airbags throughout the car.
