Not positioned for premium shoppers.
Limited for cargo-heavy use despite a 473 L trunk.

Good value in its segment with a price around 23,000
Five seats and a 408 L trunk make it workable for a small family
650 km range reduces fuel stops on longer drives
Modest performance (109 hp, 0–100 km/h in 8.5 s) won’t satisfy enthusiasts
Front-wheel drive may not suit buyers wanting all-wheel traction
Not a plug-in hybrid; favors fuel savings over electric-only driving
