2.0 (139 Hp) Verdict:

Rating 3 stars

Performance Verdict

Provides basic, uninspiring performance, best suited for relaxed city driving. Lacks power for confident highway overtaking, even with a manual gearbox.

Fuel Economy

Expected to be less fuel-efficient than the turbocharged variant due to its naturally aspirated design and lower power output requiring more effort.

Best Use Case: Primarily city driving and light suburban use where cost and simplicity are key considerations.

Pros and Cons:

Pros:

  • • Affordable purchase price and competitive features for its segment.
  • • Spacious interior and decent boot capacity for a compact SUV.
  • • Improved exterior styling with the facelift, giving it a more modern look.
  • • The 1.5T engine offers reasonable power for daily driving.

Cons:

  • • Unrefined engines, particularly the 2.0L naturally aspirated unit.
  • • Questionable long-term reliability and after-sales support in some markets.
  • • Lack of Euro NCAP safety rating raises concerns for some buyers.
  • • Driving dynamics are unengaging, with soft suspension and vague steering.
