Specifications

Engine and Drivetrain

Engine 2,987-cc DOHC 24-valve V-6. Aluminum cylinder block with cast-iron cylinder sleeves.
Fuel and ignition system Electronically controlled ultra-high-pressure Common-rail Direct Injection (CDI).

Touch Shift permits the driver to manually downshift and allows upshifts by nudging the shift lever left or right of the Drive position. Shift into Optimum Gear programming allows one-touch selection of the best gear for maximum acceleration or engine braking by holding the shift lever to the left of Drive for one second. Driver-selectable Comfort mode starts the vehicle moving in 2nd gear or 2nd Reverse gear, and upshiftsat lower rpm, to help improve control on slippery surfaces.
Drive configuration Rear-wheel drive.
Rear axle ratio 2.65:1

Traction Control & Stability Systems

Electronic Stability Program (ESP®) ESP compares the driver's intended course, via steering and braking inputs, to the vehicle's response, via lateral acceleration, rotation (yaw), and individual wheel speeds. ESP then brakes individual front or rear wheels and/or reduces excess engine power as needed to help correct understeer (plowing) or oversteer (fishtailing). ESP also integrates all-speed traction control, which senses drive-wheel slip under acceleration and individually brakes the slipping wheel or wheels, and/or reduces excess engine power, until control is regained.
