The electric motor, which powers the rear axle, works in conjunction with a boosted 2.0-liter inline-four, which is now just turbocharged instead of turbo- and supercharged.

Total output is 455 horsepower and 523 pound-feet of torque, improvements of 40 and 29, respectively, over its smaller-battery predecessor with the turbo- and supercharged engine.
