The sole powertrain is a 170-hp 2.5-liter 4-cylinder with a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT). SLs offer steering wheel mounted paddles for manual shifting. Available safety features include ABS, traction control, antiskid system, front side airbags, and curtain side airbags. Optional equipment includes leather upholstery, heated front seats, sunroof, wireless cell-phone link, keyless entry/engine start and xenon headlights.
