The car is equipped with a powerful engine that provides flexible operation. It is a 1.6-liter, 16-valve, 4-cylinder engine with 115 hp at 6,000 rpm and 152 Nm of torque at 4,200 rpm. This provides long-lasting operation and a long engine life. The car can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 12.5 seconds, with a top speed of 185 km/h with a manual transmission. An automatic transmission is also available with the larger 2.0-liter engine, producing 137 hp at 5,500 rpm, in addition to 191 Nm of torque at 3,750 rpm. This enables acceleration in 11.5 seconds and a top speed of 190 km/h.
Some have complained that the car's traction is weak and its fuel consumption is high, but there are assurances that traction improves at higher speeds after third gear.
The car is 4.259 meters long, 1.805 meters wide, and 1.620 meters high, making it both large and compact.
The rear seats can be partially or fully folded, and the car features a raised driver's seat position for easier driving and visibility. The spacious interior accommodates five passengers comfortably, giving it a limousine feel. The seats in the front and rear are comfortably designed, with velvet or leather upholstery, depending on the choice. The same upholstery is also present on the doors.
The dashboard is arranged in a simple, comfortable, and coordinated manner for easy access while driving without looking away from the road. The dashboard provides the driver with all the necessary information on a crystal display that displays the vehicle's speed, engine speed, temperature gauge, and fuel level. A computer is also available to detect faults, display the outside temperature, clock, and trip data, as well as display faults that may appear in some parts of the vehicle.
Large storage spaces in the cabin provide a pleasant driving experience, spacious interior comfort, and numerous interior amenities. The cabin feels like an SUV, thanks to the high level of comfort. The interior uses high-quality materials, with a modern interior design and numerous storage drawers. The handbrake is electric, and its position is easily accessible. The front seats have lumbar support. It adjusts forward and backward for comfort. The dashboard is large and the doors have luxurious upholstery panels. The front center console moves forward and backward and has two large storage units, one in the front and one in the rear, with cup holders and an ashtray. There is plenty of legroom for the driver and passengers and good headroom. The rear bench can be folded partially or completely. The individual rear seats in the bench can be moved forward and backward to increase rear storage capacity. The center seat can be converted into a table with rear cup holders. The car also features a very spacious rear trunk.Spare parts for the car are available, but it has some electrical problems that require checking the electrical connections under the battery. This problem has decreased in newer models. Spare parts are also available at craftsmen and other locations normally. They are the same as the Megan's spare parts, and their prices are reasonable and not very high. Owners say the price is cheaper than many cars in its class, with the possibility of providing replacement spare parts for the original and of high quality.
The prices of its mechanical spare parts are the same as the Megan's, and the non-mechanical parts are cheaper than the Megan's due to the car's limited availability. Some complain about the scarcity of spare parts, or at least some of them, in addition to the difficulty of those who understand how to deal with them.
The car has advanced suspension systems that provide stability and smoothness in driving. It is a very smooth car and the power steering is very smooth while maintaining stability. The car is characterized by a soft suspension or clutch, but the steering box does not withstand work for a long period of time and the car may encounter problems on Egyptian roads full of potholes and bumps.
The car's drawback is that it is not widely spread in the market, and therefore reselling it is somewhat difficult. Although its presence in the market is less than that of the Megane, it cannot be denied that it is somewhat available and its prices are higher than it. It is characterized by being a family car, and therefore it can be considered an option for some groups looking for a car for the family, but with a special taste for young people and a European flavor. But in the end, although it is a good car in general, it has not received its due in Egypt and it does not have a large market nor spare parts widespread for well-known popular cars, in addition to the fact that the resale price is declining significantly.
