There are several options available for each time level except the Active. The Active is powered by a 1.5L EcoBoost engine with auto stop-start. The engine is paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission. FWD is standard with this trim, but you can choose an all-wheel drive with AWD Disconnect.
The Plug-In Hybrid is offered with a plug-in hybrid 2.5L iVCT Atkinson-Cycle I-4 engine, an eCVT hybrid/plug-in hybrid transmission, and an FWD drivetrain.
