Manual air conditioning is base, with dual-zone automatic climate control optional. Cruise control is available, often with a braking function on higher specs. Rear parking sensors are frequently fitted as standard or option, while a reversing camera and parking assistant are options. Driver aids include optional camera-based collision warning with city braking and adaptive cruise. blind-spot and lane-keep systems are not listed for early models of this generation.

The cabin feels premium with high-quality materials and a sporty layout. Space improved over the prior model with more front headroom, rear shoulder room and legroom. Sport seats deliver firm support plus adjustable thigh bolsters. Optional panoramic glass roof brightens the interior while front seat heating adds cold-weather comfort.
Combined fuel use 4.5-4.6 l/100 km for the 1.5-litre turbo petrol.
Condition Based Service system monitors oil, brakes and fluids.
Euro NCAP 4-star rating (79% adult, 73% child, 66% pedestrian, 56% assist).
Standard kit: 6 airbags, ABS, DSC with traction control, ISOFIX, active bonnet.
40-litre fuel tank.
The 1.5-litre three-cylinder turbo petrol returns official combined figures of 4.5-4.6 l/100 km on the NEDC cycle, with urban use around 5.7 l/100 km and extra-urban near 3.8 l/100 km. A 40-litre tank supports solid range for a small hatch.
Servicing follows the Condition Based Service system. Sensors track oil condition, brake wear and fluid life so intervals adapt to driving style rather than fixed mileage. Typical oil services fall near every 15 000 km or annually, with brake fluid due about every two years.
Euro NCAP awarded four stars overall. Adult occupant protection reached 79 percent and child protection 73 percent. Standard safety covers dual front, side and curtain airbags, ABS with electronic brake distribution, Dynamic Stability Control, ISOFIX anchors and an active bonnet for pedestrian impact.
Keep the car by responding promptly to CBS alerts for oil, filters and brakes. Regular checks of tyre pressures and fluid levels help preserve the light kerb weight and efficient aero package that define everyday running costs.
