BOTH the X213, AND the X214, have a mild-hybrid ISG (Integrated Starter Generator), but NO Supercharger. In the X214, they have tweaked things a bit, and they call the ISG, "Gen.2".

Then what exactly are you trying to correct me on...all i said was that the 214 doesn't use the electric supercharger that the other guy claimed they did. I didn't say anything about what 213s used or didn't use.

The 213 of course is divided into "older" and "newer" versions. The "Older" one had a V6 engine with Bi-turbos. The "newer" version of the 213s (2021+ model year onwards) had the Inline-6 single-Turbo engine, with the 48V mild hybrid system, like with the 214s.

Thanks for posting. Didn't realize there were cup holders in the rear arm rest until I read the article. Kinda makes me wish a picked Sonoran Brown for my AT also.

Here's my Sonoran Brown All-Terrain, when I was heading out on a trip the next day (hence the roof cross-bars):
