0.7 (54 Hp) 4WD Verdict:

Rating 3 stars

Performance Verdict

Similar to the FWD version, but the added weight and drivetrain losses from the 4WD system slightly dull its already modest acceleration.

Good fuel economy, though marginally less efficient than the FWD variant due to the 4WD system. Still very economical for its class.
