Known problems
- Worth watching usually from 31,000 mi (50,000 km)
CVT durability and fluid sensitivity
Symptoms: the CVT dislikes hard launches, sustained high-speed cruising and wheelspin; trouble can begin around 50,000 km, and a replacement unit is expensive
What to do: Drive gently, avoid prolonged high-speed runs and wheelspin, and change the CVT fluid with the fine filter roughly every 35–40k km — earlier than the nominal interval — to give the transmission the best chance of a long life.
- Good to know
Electrical niggles — camera and lighting
Symptoms: rear-view camera image cutting out; headlight and marker bulbs burning out early, sometimes by around 20,000 km
What to do: Carry spare low-beam bulbs. If the camera drops out repeatedly, have the wiring and connector checked for a fault under warranty rather than treating it as normal.
- Good to know
Steering tie-rod ends wear early
Symptoms: knocking from the front end and developing play at relatively low mileage
What to do: Have the steering tie-rod ends checked at each service — they are an inexpensive wear item but tend to go early on this car, so budget to replace them.
Service schedule
| Item | Interval | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Engine oil & filter change | every 6,000 mi (10,000 km) or 12 months | halve for the turbo under severe/short-trip use |
| Cabin filter | every 9,000 mi (15,000 km) | — |
| Air filter | every 19,000 mi (30,000 km) | — |
| Spark plugs important | every 19,000 mi (30,000 km) | direct-injection — keep to the shorter interval, sooner on the turbo |
| CVT fluid & fine filter important | every 25,000 mi (40,000 km) | change well before the nominal interval — clean fluid is critical to CVT life; manual (5MT) cars use gear oil instead |
| Brake fluid important | every 24 months | — |
| Timing chain inspection | — | chain-driven — inspect for noise rather than scheduled replacement |
Manufacturer-declared fuel economy
No manufacturer-declared figures for this model are in the Knowledge Base yet. A figure without the cycle it was measured under is not comparable to anything, so we publish none rather than a number you cannot interpret.
