Large air intake-like front/rear side pods look cool Decorative contrasting band below window line is gone Rear looks thoroughly modern with connected LED strip
High-tech interior
Clean design in layers lend sophistication Terraced dashboard has multiple textures and finishes Piano black surfaces prone to fingerprints Fit and finish could be better
Improved functionality
10.25inch screen sharp, slick, quick to respond 360-deg camera resolution is good Instrument panel is configurable, has crisp graphics Capacitive touch buttons for HVAC work well
Seat comfort
Front seats are large with good bolstering Rear seat comfort, space are very impressive Seat base is particularly long; backrest can recline Three can sit abreast in relative comfort
Petrol-DCT performance
Turbo-DCT combo works well Refinement, performance isn’t strong off the bat DCT is smooth and jerk-free, but not quick Power delivery is smooth, linear, but not sporty
Diesel-MT performance
Smooth at idle, but gravelly at high rpms Has some lag below 1500rpm Punchy, effortless and at its best in mid-range Clutch is light; Gear lever has long throws and is vague
Ride and handling
Has a hint of stiffness at low speeds Ride smoothens out as you go faster Body control is good at highway speeds, feels robust Steering is light at low speeds, direct at higher speeds
Verdict
What we like: Smooth twin-clutch automatic New tech-rich cabin
What we don’t like Fit and finish not as good as rivals Manual gearbox could be better
