The Flex-Fix integrated bike carrier is an option that stores away when not needed. It suits light leisure or occasional work duties rather than heavy hauling.

Routine servicing is required every 30,000 km or 12 months, whichever comes first. Oil changes form part of the schedule to maintain reliability.

Standard kit includes ABS, dual-stage front airbags, side airbags, pretensioners and the pedal release system. ESP was standard in some markets and optional in others. Isofix anchors are fitted.
