The car was a very pleasant surprise. Very comfortable and enjoyable. The 1.3 TCe 158 hp engine is brilliant.

A 2025 mild‑hybrid, 160 hp.
Really nice little car. Mostly doing 200 km trips. Driving isn’t tiring. I trusted the driver‑assistance systems and… I wasn’t disappointed. The adaptive cruise control is brilliant, though I’d trust it about 90%. Overtaking punch is a plus. I recommend it with a clear conscience. Ah, just those 18" wheels 🤦. Obviously fuel consumption is higher because it’s an automatic.
