There are some speculations regarding the powertrain that the 04 hatchback will carry. A 1.5 liter inline-three cylinder or a 2.0T four-cylinder turbocharged engine variant, paired with manual, dual-clutch transmission variants or AMT are expected. A plug-in hybrid system is also anticipated, owing to the company’s identity as an electric car maker. An all-electric version is also a possibility.
