Engines are efficient PureTech petrols and BlueHDi diesels meeting Euro 6 standards, with WLTP figures showing frugal use especially on the diesel. Stop-start is common across the range.
Servicing follows the onboard indicator based on time and distance. Intervals are generally annual, with longer mileage possible on some diesels under light use. Timing belt attention is needed on petrols at manufacturer intervals.
Safety starts with a solid structure that scored well for adult and child protection in the 2017 Euro NCAP test for four stars overall. Standard kit covers the basics thoroughly including multiple airbags and stability systems. higher trims or packs add active braking and more alerts.
