Predictably, the majority of UK sales will be swallowed by the 2.0-litre 148bhp diesel version, which can be specced with a manual gearbox and return a modest claim of 50mpg (CO₂ of 145g/km is no great shakes for 150bhp either). Rivals such as Skoda’s all-wheel drive Octavia Scout promise to be cheaper to run, if not as happy off-piste. Top-spec trim is an extra £3k over the £27,995 base cost, and adds keyless go, an electric tailgate and leather seats to an already generous kit list. CVT models get the useful ‘Eyesight’ autonomous braking aid too.
