6-spd manual (1.5 HDI only) 8-spd automatic

A big diesel family car seems almost parochial these days but still makes a lot of sense to a lot of buyers. The base 1.5 HDI can be had with a sixspeed manual gearbox or the eightspeed auto, but everything else is automatic only. The single 1.6 petrol engine does a lot of heavy lifting, offered in two flavours alone or with the hybrid added (and with a more powerful four-wheel-drive variant coming). Base trim is Active, which is 1.5 HDI only, then there’s Allure, then GT Line (costing £1750 more than Allure), with top-level GT reserved for the top power outputs only.
