Rating 3 stars

Performance Verdict

The 1.5L engine provides adequate power for city driving and light commuting, but its 97 Hp output results in modest acceleration (11.1 sec 0-100 km/h) and can feel strained on highways or with a full load.

With a combined fuel consumption of 7.3 l/100 km, the economy is average for its class and era. It's not exceptionally frugal but acceptable for daily use.
