1.5 BlueHDi (131 Hp) 7 Seat Verdict:
Performance Verdict
Offers adequate power for a 7-seater, but the manual gearbox combined with the heavier load results in the slowest acceleration in the lineup.
Fuel Economy
Still delivers good diesel economy for a 7-seater, especially for drivers who manage the manual gears efficiently, but expect higher consumption with full capacity.
Pros and Cons:
Pros:
- • Extremely spacious and versatile interior with flexible seating
- • Choice of efficient diesel or zero-emission electric powertrains
- • Practical and family-friendly design with large boot space
- • Comfortable ride quality, especially on longer journeys
- • Good value for money considering its utility and features
Cons:
- • Not the most dynamic or engaging driving experience
- • Interior materials, while durable, may lack premium feel
- • e-Rifter's range might be limiting for some long-distance users
- • 4-star Euro NCAP rating (from 2018) is good but not class-leading
