1.6 petrol combined fuel economy 45.6 mpg
Service interval 12 months or 15,000 km

The 1.6-litre petrol engine delivers 45.6 mpg on the combined cycle and 144 g/km CO2. Urban figures sit near 35-38 mpg depending on exact mapping and conditions. A 65-litre tank supports decent range for mixed UK driving.
Official service timing is every 12 months or 15,000 km, whichever comes first. Oil and filter changes form the core of routine maintenance. Brake fluid and cabin filters follow longer cycles. The simple mechanical layout keeps upkeep straightforward for independent or dealer work.
Euro NCAP awarded five stars for adult protection with a near-perfect score. Child protection scored four stars. Standard safety kit covers six airbags, ABS, EBD, Brake Assist, ESP on all grades from the facelift period, ISOFIX points and active front headrests that move forward in a rear impact.
Daily living is easy with the raised ride height, electric mirrors, remote locking and 410-litre boot. Fold the rear seats for a flat load floor. Regular services and attention to the timing chain on higher-mileage examples help maintain long-term reliability.
