Worth knowing
- It is front-wheel drive only and slow to accelerate, so it is best suited to city driving.
The trim we'd park in our garage
Look for the SV: it adds a 7-inch touchscreen with CarPlay, alloy wheels and keyless entry over the S. From 2021, automatic braking and blind-spot warning became standard on every trim.
On the test drive
Ask whether the CVT fluid has been changed, and feel for shudder or hesitation when pulling away. Get a pre-purchase inspection and a vehicle history report before you buy.
Safety tech
