Seats 7; if you need seating for 8, this layout won’t fit
FWD may not provide the winter-weather traction some buyers want
Not aimed at performance driving, with a 180 km/h top speed
Gasoline-only powertrain won’t suit shoppers seeking hybrid or electric options

Good value in its segment around 35,000
Only 300-liter cargo space with all seats up limits luggage on trips
