Step up to SE for bigger 17in alloy wheels, dual-zone climate control, power-folding door mirrors, an auto-dimming rear-view mirror, adaptive cruise control, front and rear parking sensors, automatic LED headlights, adjustable lumbar support and better infotainment with smartphone mirroring.

This petrol is a sensible choice. With 148bhp it has enough poke to match the 2.0 TDI 150 from 0-62mph (in 9.0sec for the record) and while you have to work it harder up hills than the diesel, it has the requisite oomph if you're not always carrying heavy loads or towing. It's also smooth, reasonably fuel efficient and pretty good on company car tax.
