1.5 dCi (110 Hp) Verdict:
Performance Verdict
Provides a noticeable boost in power, making highway cruising more relaxed and improving capability with heavier loads. The listed acceleration figure is identical to the 90hp, suggesting its benefit is more in torque delivery and sustained speed.
Fuel Economy
Still very economical, with only a slight increase in fuel consumption compared to the 90 Hp version, a fair trade-off for the added power.
Pros and Cons:
Pros:
- • Exceptional interior space and versatility for passengers and cargo
- • Excellent fuel economy from dCi diesel engines
- • Practical and robust design ideal for families or light commercial use
- • Good value for money in the used market
- • Comfortable ride for long journeys
Cons:
- • Performance is adequate but not exhilarating, especially with the 90 Hp engine
- • Interior materials are durable but lack premium feel
- • Basic features compared to more car-like MPVs
- • Some road and wind noise at higher speeds
- • Design is more utilitarian than stylish
