Engines return strong real-world economy. The 1.0 Boosterjet averages near 5 l/100 km combined while the 1.2 Dualjet and SHVS mild-hybrid versions drop lower still. A 37-litre tank gives useful range between fills.
Oil and filter changes fall due every 15 000 km or annually on the turbo models and every 20 000 km on the 1.2 Dualjet. Coolant, brake fluid and filters follow the same calendar or distance schedule.
Crash protection scored 3 stars as standard and 4 stars once the optional Radar Brake Support pack is fitted. Six airbags, ESP, ABS with EBD and ISOFIX anchors form the core safety kit across most markets.
The light HEARTECT body and simple mechanicals keep running costs low. Regular oil services and tyre checks keep the car reliable for high-mileage use.
