Rating 4 stars

Performance Verdict

Offers strong combined power for smooth acceleration, though specific 0-100km/h data is missing. The eCVT ensures seamless power delivery.

Fuel Economy

Potentially excellent fuel economy with regular charging, but the listed 6.2 l/100 km suggests mixed driving without full EV utilization. Best for short, frequent trips on electric power.

Best Use Case: City / Commuting (with charging)

Pros and Cons:

Pros:

  • • Versatile and spacious interior for families.
  • • Wide range of efficient and capable engines, especially the TDCi diesels.
  • • Engaging driving dynamics for an MPV.
  • • Good ride comfort and handling.
  • • Strong Euro NCAP safety rating.

Cons:
