The petrol engines return competitive economy figures in official testing across markets, helped by efficient tuning and available mild-hybrid tech on later versions. Real-world use stays frugal for a midsize sedan of this size.
Servicing follows a straightforward schedule every 15 000 km or annually. A three-year service plan covers basic items like oil and filters in some markets, keeping running costs predictable.
Safety kit centres on dual front airbags, ABS with EBD, seatbelt pretensioners, ISOFIX anchors and rear parking sensors as standard. Higher grades add reverse camera and, on automatics, ESP with hill hold. Body structure uses high-tensile steel for impact protection.
Ownership stays simple thanks to widespread dealer support and low parts costs. Regular checks keep the car reliable over high mileages.
