The model

Well equipped and spacious, but the best value is found towards the bottom of the range. Rivals are better to drive and classier inside, too.

The trim

See full equipment

This range-topping trim adds sat-nav, climate control, automatic lights and wipers, a reversing camera and adjustable lumbar support for the driver. The trouble is, it puts the Tipo in a price point that it struggles to compete in, so we'd recommend one of the cheaper trims.\n,

The engine

See full engine specs

Our favourite engine – particularly if you're a private buyers rather than a company car driver. It's turbocharged so has more low-rev pull than the entry-level 1.4, and yet still keeps the price reasonable.
