adults in comfort and boasts a plethora of storage compartments in the
dashboard, central console and door panels. Boot volume can also be
adjusted thanks to folding rear seats and ranges from 139 litres to over

models), which is able to read all MP3 formats and is equipped with a
Bluetooth® function. It is accompanied by USB and jack hook-ups at the
