One of the first small crossovers in South Africa when it arrived in 2013, and for years a top seller in the segment. The India-built car is recognisable by its side-hinged tailgate and boot-mounted spare wheel. Production ended in 2022, so the used market is flooded with affordable examples, most with the 1.0 EcoBoost or 1.5 engines.
