Servicing follows a variable interval system that can stretch to 30,000 km or 24 months based on driving style and conditions. This keeps running costs predictable for both petrol and diesel versions.
Safety is a strong point with a consistent five-star Euro NCAP result across the generation. The car comes with a full suite of airbags including a centre airbag between the front seats, plus electronic aids such as collision avoidance, lane keeping and blind-spot monitoring as standard or easily added.
