Performance Verdict
The 52 Hp 0.7i engine, assisted by a 2 Hp electric motor, provides adequate power for city driving. Paired with a CVT, acceleration is smooth but not spirited, focusing on efficiency over speed.
Fuel Economy
Exceptional fuel economy at 3.1 l/100 km, making it one of the most frugal options in its class. The MHEV system significantly contributes to this impressive efficiency.
