2.4 (112 Hp) Automatic Verdict:

Rating 2 stars

Performance Verdict

Marginally more power than the 110hp variant, but the automatic transmission likely exacerbates the already sluggish acceleration.

Fuel Economy

High fuel consumption expected, especially with the automatic gearbox and the vehicle's size.

Best Use Case: City driving where manual shifting is undesirable, light duty family transport.

Pros and Cons:

Pros:

  • • Spacious and versatile interior
  • • Robust and reliable diesel engines (especially CRDI)
  • • Good value for money on the used market

  • • Comfortable ride for long journeys and family transport

Cons:

  • • Underpowered petrol engines with high fuel consumption
  • • Lack of modern safety features (no Euro NCAP rating)
  • • Basic interior design and materials compared to rivals
  • • Sluggish acceleration on lower-powered trims
  • • Dated styling by the end of its production run
