2.0 D3 (150 Hp) Verdict:

Rating 3 stars

Performance Verdict

The entry-level diesel offers sufficient power for daily tasks, but with 150 Hp and a 9.9 second 0-100 km/h time, it's not designed for spirited driving.

Fuel Economy

Excellent fuel economy at 4.3-4.5 l/100 km combined, making it the most economical non-hybrid option for long-distance driving.

Best Use Case: Drivers prioritizing maximum fuel efficiency and low running costs, especially for high mileage on highways.
