The 1.5‑liter engine delivers 110 hp and averages 6.8 L/100 km in mixed traffic, which feels adequate for city runs and occasional highway trips. However, the power band drops noticeably above 3,000 rpm, and fuel consumption climbs to 8.2 L/100 km when the AC works full blast.

Owners report a loss of compression around 45,000 km, and the timing chain tensioner often fails at that mileage. Dealers usually downplay the issue, claiming it is a “minor adjustment” that does not affect warranty.
