The Croma has been awarded a top five-star Euro NCAP crash test rating and comes with seven airbags (plus two optional) and ABS with electronic brakeforce distribution as standard, with an electronic stability programme fitted on 1.9-litre 150bhp and 2.4-litre 200bhp models.

The Croma makes a strong case as a spacious family car. There’s 500 litres of luggage space with the seats in place – these split and fold for extra room and take the total space available up to 1610 litres. Every car also comes with a useful coolbox and there are a number of cubbies and storage areas, including an armrest bin for the driver and a holder for sunglasses (from Eleganza spec upwards).
