Combined with the new powerful and efficient BlueDIRECT engines and the both sporty and comfortable suspension system, this delivers an even more dynamic driving experience. Combined fuel consumption: 9.2 — 6.8 l/100 km; combined CO2 emissions: 214-159 g/km.

Also the new wipe-wash-system MAGIC VISION CONTROL applies the cleaning liquid right from the wiper in front of the wiper slat. Fuel consumption combined: 9,2-6,8 l/100 km; CO2-Emissions combined: 214-159 g/km.
