Bright colours, a pleasing design and high-quality materials give the interiors a genuine premium feel.

Boot is smaller than many premium hatchbacks, and loading lip is high.

Standard safety kit includes all-wheel disc brakes, ABS with EBD, dual airbags, speed-sensing door locks, corner braking control, child seat anchors and front seatbelt pre-tensioners. In addition to this, top variants get segment-best kit such as ESP, hill-launch assist, five additional airbags (side, curtain and driver-knee), front parking sensors, and three-point seat belts and adjustable neck restraints for all the seats.

Both front doors get request sensors for keyless access.

Then there are segment-first features like heated outside mirrors, dual-zone climate control, smart steering system, smartwatch connectivity, micro-hybrid system and tyre pressure monitoring system. Premium equipment on offer includes a sunroof, 17-inch diamond-cut alloys, projector headlamps with LED DRLs, LED tail-lamps, touchscreen with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, auto headlamps and wipers, leatherette upholstery, auto-dimming inside mirror, cruise control and more, making this a compact SUV that’s loaded to the gills.
