Strong reliability and safety signals for peace of mind
Quick for its class (0–100 km/h in 7.0s) for easy merging and passing
Practical five-seat cabin with a 425 L trunk suits daily use and road trips
425 L trunk limits cargo-heavy use
Combined consumption of 8.3 L/100 km is only average efficiency

Not positioned as a premium choice
