Expect oil-related attention in the region of 30,000 km or every two years at the longest, with brake fluid and other fixed-time items separate. The display shows remaining distance or time.
Safety is strong for the class. Six airbags are standard along with full DSC stability control, ABS with brake assist and cornering brake control, ISOFIX anchors, and a crash sensor that unlocks doors and cuts fuel. The generation scored five stars in Euro NCAP testing. Run-flat tyres or mobility kit are fitted depending on wheels.
Living with the car means enjoying the extra space and quirky access doors while watching service history carefully on the turbo engine. Keep an eye on the CBS indicators and use quality oil. The longer body and split doors make loading easy, and standard equipment covers the core safety and convenience needs without excess complexity.
