Servicing follows a yearly or mileage-based schedule. Oil and filter changes fall due around every 15 000-20 000 km or annually for the PureTech. The wet timing belt needs replacement at roughly 100 000 km or 6 years. Brake fluid is due every two years.
Crash protection earned 4 stars from Euro NCAP in 2019 on base kit, climbing to 5 stars once the optional Safety Pack is added. Adult and child scores were strong. pedestrian protection was the weaker area without the pack. Standard kit already covers multiple airbags, ESP, AEB with collision alert, lane-keep assist and driver attention warning.
Day-to-day ownership is straightforward. The car offers generous boot space that expands with the three folding rear seats, dual-zone climate and a quiet cabin on higher grades. Keep to the service schedule, especially oil changes on the PureTech, and the Advanced Comfort suspension and seats make long trips easy.
