The diesel range is split between a 1.6-lt in 74kW and 88kW guise (the first with a five-speed manual and the second with manual or auto six-speeders) and a 2.0-lt with 151kW or 132kW.
This SUV is only available in two-wheel drive but the optional Advanced Grip Control system offers five different modes ((Normal, Snow, Mud, Sand and ESP Off) for those looking for additional traction.
All versions come standard with a comprehensive suite of safety systems. The Distance Alert, Automatic Emergency Braking System (AEBS) , Active Lane Departure Warning, Speed Sign Recognition and Speed Suggestion and the Active Blind Spot Monitoring.
