Nimble, spacious and economical, it starts quietly and without jerks thanks to the mild-hybrid system.
Robust and not thirsty (personally 5.5 L/100 km combined, with aggressive driving).
I prefer reliability above any other argument, and that of its 4-cylinder engine, with a steel timing chain and intelligent mild-hybrid system, is by far the best in its class.
Ultimately, very, very happy with my choice!
