• DSG/CVT judder during low-speed EV-to-petrol transitions or in heavy traffic
• 12V auxiliary battery drain issues when vehicle is parked for extended periods
• Software glitches causing loss of hybrid mode or forced petrol-only operation

Good for

• City commuting under 30 km range if charged daily; near-silent electric motoring

• Spacious interior and reasonable warranty cover (3 years / 60,000 km typical)
• Lower emissions certification on paper (WLTP figures; real-world worse)
