What’s hot
- Smart styling is inoffensive.
- Sub-100g/km of CO2 reaps big benefits for company car tax and road tax.
- Cost reducing 74.3mpg economy.
- Loads of clever ideas that make life easier, such as the multiple-choice boot.
- Ride quality very good, albeit on smooth Spanish roads.
It’s very well equipped with all the required business-friendly infotainment stuff, and it also feels like a premium product in here - Handling is safe and predictable in all circumstances.
- Excellent levels of equipment across the range.
- Infotainment system and sat nav are easy to use and good quality.
- Increased room inside in all directions.
- Safety kit (optional on some specs) adds a degree of security to driving.
- Excellent quality of fit and finish.
What’s not
- Evolutionary styling means it’s not very exciting to look at.
- Quality on the steering wheel controls is well below par.
- Performance is only just acceptable.
- Optional 19 inch wheels look good but ride quality suffers.
- Automatic option only available on 1.6, and even then it’s a CVT.
- 4WD option only on the 1.6, and that adds heavy multi-link suspension to the rear.
