Premium unleaded petrol required
Combined fuel use around 6.4 l/100 km
Condition Based Servicing monitors oil and components
Euro NCAP 4-star rating
Standard ABS, DSC, front/side/curtain airbags
The 2.0-litre turbo petrol runs on premium unleaded. Official combined consumption sits near 6.4 l/100 km depending on gearbox and driving.
Servicing follows Condition Based Service. Sensors track oil life, brakes and fluids so intervals adapt to use rather than fixed schedules. Brake fluid typically needs change every two years.
The generation earned a 4-star Euro NCAP score. Standard kit includes ABS with brake assist, DSC stability control, multiple airbags and tyre pressure monitoring. Extra aids like collision warning or adaptive cruise are optional.
Keep up with CBS alerts and use quality oil. The car is fun for daily drives but rear space and boot limit family use. Regular checks keep the turbo engine and dual-clutch or manual gearbox reliable.
