The interior is based on the Peugeot's i-Cockpit from the hatchback. It comes with a compact steering wheel, a head-up instrument panel and a tall centre console and a 9.7" touch-screen for intuitive access to infotainment functions.
The engine range includes ultra-efficient Euro 6 petrol and diesel engines. The power ranges from 130HP to 155HP for the petrol units and 92HP to 150HP for the diesel variants. There is also a new BlueHDi 1.6-litre 120HP diesel mated to a 6-speed manual gearbox and returning the exceptional 88.3 mpg UK with CO2 emissions of 85 g/km. This is a record in the segment.
