Five seats and a 402 L trunk suit daily family and commuting needs.
Priced around 28,000, offering good value in its segment.
FWD layout may not appeal if you want AWD traction.
402 L trunk and compact footprint aren’t ideal for cargo-heavy use.
Not aimed at premium-focused buyers.
Enthusiasts seeking maximum performance may want more than its 7.5 s sprint and 210 km/h top speed.

Efficient for its class at 5.5 L/100 km, keeping fuel costs in check
Strong safety standing among compact cars
Smooth daily drivability: 0-100 km/h in 8.2 s and 300 Nm aid easy merging
