The interior is fairly spacious, despite several defects — bodywork and interior — and two consecutive breakdowns caused by the same air‑conditioning compressor problem. Very long waiting times for spare parts and for warranty repairs. In the end, I no longer have this vehicle because I was very disappointed.
