The weight of the car, depending on the modification, is between 1.57 and 1.69 tonnes. Ground clearance is just 15.5 cm. Such ground clearance is not enough for travelling on rough roads, and it is better not to drive such a car off-road at all. The boot space is 493 litres in most versions. However, in the Premium configuration with adjustable backrests, the capacity of this compartment can be reduced to 469 liters.
