What we can't tell you yet
Everything below was searched for. Lines marked (unverified) show a figure that only one source gives, or that sources disagree on; the rest have not been published anywhere we could find for this version.
- Payload (unverified) — Payload is still not published for this derivative, and it cannot be worked out safely from the figures on hand: the kerb weight and the gross vehicle mass come from two different markets and are measured on different bases, so subtracting one from the other would produce a wrong number rather than a derivation.
- Spare wheel — Not published in the sources checked.
