: A newer, more powerful 129bhp variant (featured in higher trims like Excel and GR Sport) provides better responsiveness at higher speeds and a slightly quicker 0-62mph time of 9.2 seconds.

: Standard equipment is generous, often including a 9.0-inch touchscreen, climate control, and wireless smartphone integration even on entry-level models.

: The standard powertrain produces 114bhp and is recommended for most drivers due to its focus on maximum efficiency.

: You can realistically expect between 57mpg and 70mpg , with some owners reporting up to 80mpg on the trip computer during careful urban driving.

: Rear passenger space is tight, and the 286-liter boot is significantly smaller than rivals like the Renault Clio.
