Rear seat ventilation (thigh cushion) — segment first (HTX+ onwards)

Cons

Polarising boxy exterior design may not appeal to all buyers

No telescopic steering adjustment — only tilt available

3-cylinder turbo petrol engine exhibits slight vibrations at idle

No rear radar — blind spot warning and rear cross-traffic alert unavailable

No fog lamps in base and mid variants (available only from HTX+ onwards)

DCT dual-clutch gearbox reliability may concern some buyers

Height of 1680 mm (with roof rails) may restrict underground parking access
