Featuring a sporty, refined package including:
Sport suspension for a sharper ride.

Strengths & Value
Engaging to drive: agile handling and peppy power delivery.
Efficient for a petrol crossover—with hybrid fuel savings and solid real-world mpg figures.

Considerations
Suspension is firm: ST-Line X calibrates for sporty handling, which may feel stiff on rough roads.
Real-world mpg varies: Urban or heavy traffic drops efficiency; testers typically report mid?40s mpg.
Bigger wheels may transmit road noise—a trade-off for the sportier look.
