Start/Stop and a six-speed gearbox may also be standard on versions in the 1.4-litre Turbo gasoline engine. With either 120PS or 140PS, the 1.4T achieves a combined 47.9mpg and 139g/km of C02 emissions, yet each still delivers crisp performance with maximum torque of 200Nm delivered between 1850-4200rpm.
The most powerful engine inside the range would be the 1.6-litre Turbo, which produces 180PS and allows the GTC to hit a highly regarded speed of 132mph.
