By: 
carwow.co.uk

Pros
Quite posh, lots of room,
decent value for money

Cons
Very little of note,
besides not being very interesting

By: 
topgear.com

Pros
Perky optional plug-in hybrid powertrain,
futuristic appearance,
well-equipped from EX trim up.

Cons
Base powertrain is pretty poky,
buzzy engine sounds under heavy throttle,
not as fuel efficient in our testing as last year's model.

By:

Smooth and quiet ride quality
High fuel economy
Spacious seating and cargo area for a compact car

Cons
Slow acceleration
No option for all-wheel drive
