If you do a lot of highway runs, the diesel is the default choice. The DCT automatic gearbox matches the engine torque perfectly. Very refined and quiet cruiser.

Strong engine but the manual gear shifts are slightly rubbery. The diesel grunt is audible inside the cabin when you accelerate hard, though it settles down fine at 100 km/h.

The biggest issue is the 1.2 base petrol feels strained. It gets really annoying in daily usage and makes me regret not looking at other segment options.

The diesel mileage is good (around 14 km/l in city, 19 on highway), but the price gap between petrol and diesel variants is hard to justify unless your monthly running is over 1500 km.

Overall a solid packages, but the touchscreen infotainment is prone to random freezes. The cabin is spacious, but the middle rear seat is too narrow and firm for long journeys.
