1.3 (99 Hp) 4WD Automatic Verdict:
Performance Verdict
Adequate for city driving, but the lower power combined with 4WD and CVT means it can feel strained on highways or during quick overtakes.
Fuel Economy
Decent fuel efficiency for a 4WD, but the smaller engine works harder, potentially negating some of the efficiency gains.
Pros and Cons:
Pros:
- • Exceptional interior space and versatility with 'Magic Seats'
- • Excellent fuel efficiency across the lineup, especially hybrids
- • Renowned Honda reliability and low running costs
- • Easy to maneuver and park in urban environments
- • Good visibility for the driver
Cons:
- • CVT can be noisy under hard acceleration
- • Ride can be firm on rougher roads
- • Some interior materials feel a bit basic
- • Not particularly sporty or engaging to drive (excluding hybrid DCT)
