1.6 DIG-T (190 Hp) AUTOMATIC Verdict:

Rating 4 stars

Performance Verdict

Still very capable and quick, but the automatic transmission (likely CVT) slightly reduces acceleration and driver engagement compared to the manual.

Fuel Economy

Higher fuel consumption than the manual 190hp version, a trade-off for the convenience of an automatic gearbox.

Best Use Case: Mixed driving / Urban performance (with automatic convenience)

Pros and Cons:

Pros:

  • • Distinctive and polarizing design stands out
  • • Wide range of engine options, from economical to sporty
  • • Engaging handling for a crossover, especially in Nismo trims
  • • Good Euro NCAP safety rating
  • • Compact size ideal for urban driving and parking

Cons:

  • • Limited rear passenger space and boot capacity
  • • Firm ride quality can be uncomfortable on rough roads
  • • Interior quality feels dated in some areas compared to rivals
  • • CVT transmission can be unrefined and noisy under hard acceleration
  • • Polarizing styling isn't for everyone
