Efficient for its class at 7.5 L/100 km, helping keep running costs in check
Solid everyday pace (0–100 km/h in 9.0 s; 147 hp, 240 Nm) without fuss
Not for performance seekers; 147 hp and 180 km/h top speed are modest
Seats 5 only, so larger families will need more capacity

Focuses on practicality over premium features and finishes
