With all seats in place the boot is modest but usable for bags. The second-row seats tumble with one touch and the third row folds to free up a large flat load floor for bigger items.

Payload is rated at 520 kg. The rear-wheel-drive layout and commercial-derived chassis suit loaded passenger or light work duties. No factory towing figures are published.

The cabin seats eight with soft fabric upholstery and generous head and leg room across three rows.
