For The diesel engine is strong and smooth, and makes for a fine motorway cruiser. Over 2 trim, this range-topping 3 trim has larger alloy wheels, an electric tailgate, cruise control and leather upholstery. It also has anti-whiplash front head restraints

Against We already think some people will baulk at the £2000 extra that a 2-trimmed car costs over the basic model, so it's very hard to argue a case for this model, which is a further £2000 more expensive

1 out of 5 stars

Yes, this model has some lavish equipment, but we think the lesser-trimmed models are the better buys
