Advantages
- The distinctive and modern design really stands out in the crowded supermini segment with its sharp LED lights and sculpted body lines.
- Fuel efficiency is excellent across the range, especially with the PureTech engines that deliver impressive economy without sacrificing performance.
- Handling is sharp and responsive, making it genuinely fun to drive on twisty roads with precise steering and good body control.
- The innovative 3D i-Cockpit dashboard creates a futuristic driving environment with the small steering wheel and high-mounted digital display.
- Build quality feels solid and premium for the class, with good materials used throughout the cabin.
Pay Attention
- The boot space is quite limited at 311 liters, which is smaller than many rivals and might be restrictive for families.
- Ride quality can feel firm and uncomfortable on larger wheels, especially on rough road surfaces where you'll feel most bumps.
- The touchscreen-heavy interface takes time to get used to and can be distracting while driving as many functions require multiple taps.
- Rear seat space is tight for adults on longer journeys, with limited headroom and legroom.
- Visibility can be compromised by the thick rear pillars and the unique dashboard layout takes some adaptation.
