Boot space measures 395 litres with seats up and expands to 1301 litres when the 60/40 rear seats fold nearly flat. The load floor is square and practical for everyday shopping or luggage.
Braked towing capacity reaches 1300 kg across most petrol variants with a 600 kg unbraked limit and 75 kg towball download. Payload sits around 450 kg depending on kerb weight and GVM. N Line grades add sports-tuned multi-link rear suspension for sharper handling but no heavy-duty cooling package is listed for work use.

Euro NCAP 5 stars (2017): 88% adult, 84% child, 64% pedestrian, 68% assist.
ANCAP 5 stars for hatch variants (based on 2017 tests).
Service interval typically 12 months or 15,000 km (10,000 km on some turbos).
Standard safety kit includes 7 airbags, ESC, ABS, AEB, LKA and TPMS on most grades.
Most petrol engines run on 91 RON unleaded. fuel tank holds 50 litres.
Fuel use varies by engine. Petrol options include 1.0, 1.5 and 1.6 turbo units plus a 2.0 naturally aspirated. Diesels are 1.6 CRDi. Combined figures sit in the mid-4 to mid-7 L/100 km range depending on powertrain and transmission. Mild-hybrid versions improve efficiency slightly in stop-start traffic.
Servicing follows a normal schedule of oil and filter changes every 12 months or 15,000 km for most engines. Turbo petrol and N models need shorter 10,000 km intervals. Europe often uses 15,000 km oil changes with full inspections at 30,000 km or 24 months. Capped-price plans cover the first five years in some markets.
Safety is strong for the class. The 2017 Euro NCAP test gave five stars with solid adult and child scores. Standard kit covers dual front, side, curtain and driver knee airbags plus ESC. SmartSense adds AEB with pedestrian and cyclist detection, lane keep, driver attention warning and blind-spot alerts on mid and higher grades. Later builds make more of these standard.
Keeping the car is straightforward. The five-year unlimited-kilometre warranty helps ownership costs. Regular oil services and filter changes keep it reliable. Tyre pressure monitoring and full-size or space-saver spares are common. Cabin filters and brake fluid need checks every one to two years.
