Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Extremely stable handling. Ride is a wee touch firm but that's off set by the handling. 6 speed auto box in tandem with the 2.2 diesel's torque gives lots of shuve. Manual mode especially so. Great visibility - slim A pillars, you see.
What's it like to park?
A breeze. Front and rear sensors are brilliant.

Black leather interior. Boot size.

Digital display touch-screen controls. Front/rear parking sensors.
