Side airbags, ABS, five three-point rear seat belts and ISOFIX child seat anchor points are all standard. Hatchback on which it’s based has a Four-star Euro NCAP rating. No alarm as standard but immobiliser, remote central double locking, security etching, unique-fit stereo, and marked parts should discourage thieves.

The load area is good for the class – it’ll easily take the weekly family shop. Loads of cubbies inside for glasses, CDs and maps etc.
