Interior looks very good with nice materials, sporty pedals, spacy dials, and a large touch screen. Power however, disappoints. The only engine available is a rather old 1.6 liter four-cylinder petrol unit with only 117hp and 150nm, mated to a 5-speed manual 0r a 4-speed tiptronic automatic. Earlier on we heard Peugeot is also working to fit a 1.2 turbo under the bonnet but that hasn’t been confirmed yet.
