1.8 (188 Hp) Automatic Verdict:

Rating 4 stars

Performance Verdict

The 1.8L turbocharged engine provides strong power delivery (188 Hp, 230 Nm) for an SUV of this size, ensuring confident acceleration. The automatic transmission should offer smooth shifts, though the 165 km/h top speed remains a limiting factor for high-speed performance.

Fuel Economy

While official figures are absent, the automatic transmission might slightly impact fuel economy compared to the manual, but the turbocharged engine's efficiency should still be reasonable for its class in mixed driving.

Best Use Case: Comfortable daily commuting in urban and suburban environments, with the convenience of an automatic gearbox.
