The foundation of the entry-level models is the brand’s 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine situated longitudinally under the hood, and a nine-speed automatic transmission. The 300 receives a 48-volt mild-hybrid system that chips in an additional 23 hp and 148 lb-ft of torque under certain situations, while the 350e uses a 23.3-kilowatt-hour battery pack and single electric motor that contributes an extra 134 hp and 235 lb-ft of torque.
