The Spec'd take

Why it stands out

  • Full LED projector headlamp and 12-inch alloy wheels standard even on lower ZX trim
  • Disc brake and Bluetooth-enabled digital console available from the ZX variant upward

Worth knowing

  • Base VX variant still gets a drum front brake and a simpler analogue-digital console
  • No ABS, only a combi braking system (IBS) across the range
