1.2 PureTech (130 Hp) EAT8 Verdict:
Performance Verdict
Provides adequate power for most situations, though without the immediate torque of the mild-hybrid. The EAT8 gearbox is smooth but can feel less urgent.
Fuel Economy
Decent fuel economy for a conventional petrol automatic, but it will be less efficient than its mild-hybrid counterpart, especially in stop-start traffic.
Pros and Cons:
Pros:
- • Exceptional ride comfort due to Citroen's Advanced Comfort program
- • Distinctive and stylish SUV-Coupe design stands out from competitors
- • Wide range of efficient powertrains, including mild-hybrid and full electric
- • Spacious and practical interior for its segment
- • Good value proposition with competitive pricing and features
Cons:
- • Rear visibility can be compromised by the coupe-like roofline
- • Some interior plastics feel less premium than rivals
- • Not the most engaging or sporty driving experience
- • 4-star Euro NCAP rating lags behind some 5-star competitors
- • Infotainment system, while improved, can still be less intuitive than best-in-class
