1.3 DIG-T (158 Hp) Mild Hybrid 4x4 Xtronic Verdict:

Rating 4 stars

Performance Verdict

Offers confident traction in varied conditions with AWD, though the Xtronic CVT can make acceleration feel less immediate than a manual, prioritizing smoothness.

Fuel Economy

The mild-hybrid system aids efficiency, but the added weight of AWD and the nature of the CVT may result in slightly higher fuel consumption compared to FWD variants.

Best Use Case: Regions with challenging weather, light off-roading, or drivers prioritizing all-weather capability and automatic convenience.

  • • Modern and refreshed exterior design with updated lighting.
  • • Excellent Euro NCAP 5-star safety rating.
  • • Diverse and efficient powertrain options, especially the innovative e-POWER full-hybrid.
  • • Comfortable ride quality and refined interior.
  • • Good array of technology and driver assistance features.

Cons:

  • • Xtronic CVT can feel uninspiring for some drivers compared to traditional automatics.
  • • Rear visibility could be better due to design constraints.
