Generation and equipment description ↗

Folding rear seats: This changes the balance between passenger and luggage space. Check whether the folded surface is level and whether long items can pass through.
MacPherson front suspension: For a version with MacPherson front suspension, identify parts by body code and specification. The layout name alone does not establish that struts and springs are interchangeable.
Rear-view camera: Check the image when reverse is selected and the area visible near the bumper. A camera does not replace checking around the car.
