The 2.0 TDI 170 CV engine offers an energetic response, allowing for safe overtakes and good recovery capability, even with the vehicle loaded. The 6-speed manual gearbox is precise and contributes to a fluid driving experience. Despite its size, the electric speed-sensitive power steering facilitates maneuvers in the city and provides a good connection with the road on longer journeys.
