1.5i (113 Hp) Automatic Verdict:

Rating 3 stars

Performance Verdict

While sharing the same 113 Hp 1.5L engine, the automatic transmission slightly dulls acceleration compared to the manual, making it more suited for relaxed driving rather than spirited performance.

Despite the automatic transmission, the fuel consumption remains competitive at 5.6 l/100 km, offering a good balance of convenience and economy for city driving.
