A 7-year/90 000 km service plan is included. Intervals fall every 15 000 km or once a year, whichever comes first. The first check is earlier, around 5 000 km. Stick to the schedule at a dealer to keep the warranties valid.
Safety kit is strong for the class: nine airbags, electronic stability control, tyre-pressure monitoring, front and rear parking sensors, 360-degree camera and a full suite of 15 ADAS items including adaptive cruise, automatic emergency braking, lane-keep assist and blind-spot monitoring. The model carries a five-star ANCAP rating.
Ownership costs stay predictable while the service plan runs. The long engine warranty gives extra peace of mind provided you follow the maintenance book. Roadside assistance for five years unlimited is also standard.
