Looking for a different model? (change model)
Practicality rating: 3 out of 53.0

Written by Parkers Published: 6 June 2019

SE is the safer, more secure bet with side airbags on top of the twin airbags of the LX. Not tested by Euro NCAP. Both models get alarm, immobiliser and window etching.

Boot is pretty big with a 60/40 split/folding rear seat for carrying longer loads. There is no hatchback or estate version available. Cupholders and a few boxes for small items.
