Euro NCAP 5-star rating (2010)

The 1.2-litre petrol engine delivers efficient running with combined figures starting at 5.0 l/100 km on manual versions and a 42-litre tank. Diesel options offer even lower consumption in some markets.
Servicing follows a schedule of engine oil and filter changes every 15 000 km or 12 months under normal conditions, with shorter intervals for severe use. Broader inspections cover belts, fluids and filters at multiples of this interval.
Crash protection earned a full five-star Euro NCAP score in 2010, backed by seven airbags including a driver’s knee bag, ESP, ABS with EBD and brake assist, side-impact beams and ISOFIX points as standard across the range.
The car is straightforward to keep with a lightweight design that aids economy and durability. Regular maintenance of the oil, brakes and tyres keeps it reliable for everyday commuting and town driving.
