The cabin feels roomy for the car's size thanks to the long wheelbase, with space for five and a height-adjustable driver's seat.

Rear parking sensors appear on SE grades. No advanced driver aids are listed.
Boot space measures 225 litres with seats up. The 60:40 split-fold rear seats expand it to 630 litres for larger loads, with a low wide opening and nearly flat floor.
Braked towing capacity is 750 kg and unbraked is 350 kg. Payload reaches 500 kg. The car suits light everyday loads and short trips but shows no special heavy-duty cooling or suspension upgrades for tougher work.
