The update comes with a reduction in gas-only engine options, signaling a shift toward electrified powertrains in the segment. Buyers now have fewer traditional internal combustion choices, though the brand maintains its focus on rugged performance. This change reflects broader industry trends toward hybrid and electric alternatives in compact SUVs.
