1.5L (105 Hp) CVT Verdict:
Performance Verdict
While offering the same peak power as the manual 105 Hp variant, the CVT transmission can lead to a less direct and potentially more sluggish driving experience, especially under hard acceleration.
Fuel Economy
The CVT contributes to a higher fuel consumption of 6.6 l/100 km, which is typical for this transmission type, making it less efficient than the manual counterparts.

Pros:
- • Affordable purchase price and running costs
- • Practical SUV body style with decent interior space
- • Modern exterior styling for its segment
- • Good fuel economy for manual variants
Cons:
- • Modest engine performance, especially with CVT
