A four-star Euro NCAP was awarded in 2001, but this is now starting to look ordinary against class-leading five-star models like the Renault Laguna, Toyota Avensis, Mercedes-Benz C-Class and Saab 9-3. All models have remote central locking, while models from VTR upwards add an alarm.
Estates have one of the largest load areas in the class and as a result command higher prices on the used market. Fold the seats down and there’s more room still. Makes you wonder why you were considering that MPV.
