Cons	It has one of the smallest boot spaces in its segment The fancier features are mostly found in the highest-spec models The turbo-petrol versions cost more and only come with a manual transmission Inside, the SUV has lots of features, but the design might seem a bit old-fashioned The petrol and turbo-petrol engines aren't as fuel-efficient as some other cars in the class It doesn't have rear AC vents, unlike some of its rivals The rear legroom is not as great as some of its rivals	No automatic transmission with the 1.2-litre NA petrol engine The lower models lack features.
